About Selwyn Hall School

Located in the beautiful Foxton, South West of Cambridge, Selwyn Hall School is a new SEN school dedicated to providing specialist education for 7-18 year olds with social, emotional, and mental health difficulties (SEMH). Our pupils may have various diagnoses, including:

With small bespoke groupings of 4-6 children, we ensure that every pupil receives the individual attention they need to thrive.

Inside, our fully refurbished building features a variety of classrooms and activity rooms, including science, computing, music, drama, and Art/DT.

As part of the Polaris Community, we have been improving the lives of young people for over 30 years.
