Undershaw is a small school with a deep focus on individual happiness and well-being. Our school provides an environment free of prejudice and discrimination, and one where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Undershaw is an independent specialist school providing a high standard of care and education for children aged 9 to 19 with mild to moderate learning difficulties and additional needs, such as ASD, cerebral palsy, hemiplegia, and medical vulnerabilities. Our focus on leading SEND Education, integrated therapy, employability, and wellbeing ensures that our provision is bespoke to each individual student. At Undershaw we have small class sizes, a personal approach to welfare and pastoral care, and a supportive and relaxing environment where each student can thrive, make lasting friendships and achieve their best. Our vision is: To be an inclusive school where the best interests of the child are at the heart of everything that we do. To be a school where we empower students to aspire and achieve. To provide a caring and safe environment which allows students to thrive and flourish, and prepares them to be socially and economically engaged in the future.
