Limpsfield Grange is an outstanding Surrey County Council maintained residential and day school for girls aged 11-16 with communication and interaction difficulties.
Our students have a wide range of needs and many have a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum conditions including Asperger's syndrome or High Functioning Autism. Many of our students are affected by high and persistent levels of anxiety, which can impact on their ability to engage in everyday activities.
Girls at Limpsfield Grange study a mainstream curriculum and take GCSEs. The girls access high levels of targeted intervention and differentiation throughout the school day.
Our aim is for all of our students to become happy, healthy active citizens. To enable our students to thrive in society we have created a curriculum underpinned by our four areas of development:
Wellbeing
Achievement
Communication
Independence
Through working on these areas with our students we help them to develop the confidence and resilience to tackle the challenges of everyday life when they leave school.
There are currently 86 girls attending the school, a mix of both day and residential students.
The school was graded Outstanding during the last Ofsted inspection in July 2018.
The school has received no increase in Government funding for the past seven years even though operating costs have risen significantly across the board.
Your inspirational leadership has created a culture of continuing excellence.
