Choosing a school for your child

Special schools teach children and young people with an EHCP whose needs are more complex and cannot be met at their local mainstream school.

There are 3 Local Authority maintained Special schools in Westmorland and Furness:

• Sandside Lodge School in Ulverston
• Sandgate School in Kendal
• George Hastwell School in Barrow-in-Furness

Places at Special schools are offered by the Local Authority following EHCP needs assessment.
