Palmerston School

Palmerston provides high quality education for 170 pupils aged 11-19 who have severe or profound and multiple learning difficulties. We believe all our pupils can achieve, if they are provided with a learning environment and resources that meet their needs.

We place great emphasis on developing independence and communication skills in all lessons and in Key Stages 4 and 5 the pupils are encouraged to develop skills for adult life including having the appropriate vocational experiences.

Our new college provision opened in 2023 for pupils aged 14-19 who do not need access to specialist rooms/resources such as hydro, rebound etc. All pupils in the college are working on a 14-19 curriculum called moving on which prepares them for adult life.   

Pupil places are requested through the Liverpool SEN team but feel free to contact us for a tour of the school/College

Other notes

As a purpose build school, we have a number of specialist rooms to support our pupils holistic needs. These include a sensory room, immersive suite, hair salon and independent living room to support our life skills curriculum.

We have recently installed an outdoor learning environment and have Forest School leaders as part of our staffing.  

The college is still in the construction stage and should be finished in 2024. It will include work related learning areas both inside and out and will support pupils to become as independent as possible whilst still accessing holistic therapies and support.
