Breckenbrough

Breckenbrough is more than a school. It provides a nurturing and therapeutic environment which enables boys from 9 to 19 to successfully access a curriculum that meets their needs and interests. We are especially successful with students who are diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, but also work effectively with others who want to learn and develop socially, academically and emotionally.

We work hard to provide a safe, calm environment where our students can rebuild their self esteem, develop appropriate social skills, become independent and succeed academically.

We offer day places and weekly boarding places over 38 weeks.

All boys require an EHCP which states that Breckenbrough will meet their needs.
