Percy Hedley School specialises in working with two distinct groups of children who have cerebral palsy and/or speech, language and communication difficulties and other complex difficulties including ASD, dyspraxia, dyslexia and ADHD.

We set out to make a difference to the learning, wellbeing and future life chances of children.

Together, we believe we can unlock each child's potential and support achievement for all.
