About the School

Mill Water is a special school in East Devon educating pupils, aged 3 to 19, who have severe and profound learning difficulties.

We re-located to our current site in the grounds of Bicton College in 2015. Our purpose-built school is uniquely designed with the entire focus on meeting pupils' needs.

It includes light and dark sensory rooms, soft play, a hydrotherapy pool, ICT facilities, spacious rural grounds and outside play equipment.

All staff are committed to providing the care and support our pupils need to reach their full potential. We always celebrate the smallest steps of achievement as well as being committed to delivering a purposeful education.

With the appropriate training the Apprentice Teaching Assistant will meet the needs of the pupils and attend their general welfare, this could include supporting pupils with personal care, administering medications and supporting with feeding.

The Apprentice Teaching Assistant may learn to carry out a number of therapeutic programs with some pupils such as hydrotherapy, physiotherapy and speech therapy.
