This school is situated in a rural environment, on the outskirts of Liverpool, close to the junction of the M57 and M62. Pupils are grouped according to developmental level and ability and are educated in mixed groups. Volunteers may be accepted to work with the pupils. We accept university students as volunteers who are completing courses such as psychology, special needs and teaching.
