About Selwyn Hall School
Located in the beautiful surroundings of 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 ASD, ADHD, FASD, anxiety, and other learning needs.
With small bespoke groupings of 4-6 children, we ensure that every pupil receives the individual attention they need to thrive. Our large private grounds create a therapeutic environment that promotes health and wellbeing, featuring outdoor learning experiences like forest school, a multi-use sports pitch, sensory trails, and play equipment. Inside, our fully refurbished building offers a variety of classrooms and activity rooms for 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.
