Brantwood Specialist School is an Independent Specialist School for up to 50 children and young people aged 7-19 years with complex learning and emotional difficulties including autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), Asperger syndrome, Tourette syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), attachment difficulties and those deemed 'hard to engage' such as school refusers. We are a registered Children's Home and offer thirty eight or fifty two week provision. Placements within the school can be on a day or residential basis. Brantwood is the newest member of the Ruskin Mill Trust family and the first to offer full time education and care provision for young people aged between 7 and 19 years of age. Brantwood opened its doors to students in September 2011. For the past 25 years Ruskin Mill Trust has provided education for young people with complex learning difficulties. Ruskin Mill College has been graded as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted and has 'Beacon' status. The model at Brantwood will build on and develop the approach of its sister colleges located across the United Kingdom (UK), providing the potential for provision within the Trust from 7 to twenty five years of age if this is deemed appropriate for the individual young person.
