Welcome to Leith Hill School



We are a co-educational specialist day school for pupils aged 7 to 16. With autism and/or ADHD as a primary need, our pupils are likely to have co-occurring social, emotional and communication difficulties and other associated needs which may affect their wellbeing and enjoyment of learning. At the heart of everything we do is our commitment to making a meaningful, lifelong impact on our pupils' lives.



Our aim is to inspire ambition, build resilience, and foster a love of learning. Pupils benefit from the support of a dedicated team of highly qualified teachers, therapists, and other professionals who collaborate closely to create personalised learning and therapy plans tailored to each child's needs. In addition to academic achievement, including the attainment of national qualifications such as GCSEs and equivalent, we emphasise emotional wellbeing, resilience, and the development of social and independent living skills.



With a school culture that prioritises pupil and staff wellbeing, we offer a supportive and inclusive environment where people work collaboratively to embrace the 4C's : confidence, competence, creativity and character. Benefits include pension, on-site car park and free lunch. A comprehensive CPD program is being developed.
