west kirby residential school
As a non-maintained special school, West Kirby School and College (Run by the
charity West Kirby Residential School) caters for children and young people,
aged 5-19 years, with complex special educational needs and disabilities. We
support pupils with social and communication difficulties, including Autistic
Spectrum Condition, sensory and emotional needs, across a range of cognitive
abilities. Our aim is for our young people to leave West Kirby School with
academic qualifications and developed social, emotional and communication
skills. We achieve this through structured, supportive learning and an
individualised curriculum, based on the concept of relevant and meaningful
learning, where pupils make aspirational progress from their starting points.
Due to its location, West Kirby School and College can offer a wide range of
opportunities for community activities including the local park and beach,
sports, water recreation and natural history. Liverpool and Chester with their
wealth of art, culture and history are within easy reach. The school is close to
the centre of West Kirby village and is just two hundred yards from the nearest
beach and local marine lake.
