Harlescott House School

A very warm welcome to our Eco School.
Tucked into a beautiful period house with woodland and gardens to explore, Harlescott is a calm, happy place where children with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs can breathe, grow and discover what they're good at. Many of our pupils join after a difficult time in education, so our first job is simple: help them feel safe, and help them feel they belong.
From there we are wonderfully ambitious. Our pupils gain real qualifications, learn life skills, cook, garden, play golf and get out into the community, building the confidence to take on the world.
If you're thinking about a place for your child, please come and see us. Photos only tell half the story; the warmth of this school you have to feel for yourself.
