Broomfield SILC is a generic special school for pupils aged 2 to 19 years with 4 sites: our main site and 3 partnership sites at Windmill Primary, Rodillian Secondary and White Rose Post 16.

We are a very popular choice for parents and carers and currently have over 270 pupils on roll.
Broomfield secured a 'Good' Ofsted in March 2023 where inspectors commented that leaders have 'high ambitions' and 'high aspirations for all pupils' and that 'staff are proud to work in our school'. I am very proud of our school community where staff are committed to supporting young people to fulfil their potential and prepare them fully for their future, particularly focusing on communication, independence, and emotional regulation.
