Welcome to Selworthy Special School

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Selworthy Special School — a vibrant and nurturing learning community located in the heart of Somerset. We are proud to serve children and young people aged 4 to 19, along with their families.

Selworthy supports pupils with a wide range of additional learning needs, including autism and profound learning difficulties. We provide a safe, inclusive and inspiring environment where every learner is valued and supported to thrive. Our inclusive ethos is at the heart of everything we do.

At Selworthy, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. Our dedicated team of staff work closely with families, therapists and other professionals to create personalised learning experiences that celebrate each learner’s strengths, interests and aspirations. Whether through academic achievement, life skills development, or creative expression, we are committed to helping our pupils grow in confidence, independence and joy.

Our school is more than just a place of learning — it is a community built on respect, compassion and high expectations. We are continually evolving to meet the needs of our learners, embracing innovation while holding firm to our core values of care, collaboration and celebration.

I invite you to explore our website, visit our school and discover the incredible spirit that makes Selworthy such a special place.
