Maypole School is an independent special school who work with pupils aged 5 – 19 who have an Education, Health and Care Plan. Many present with some challenging behaviour and may have been excluded from mainstream schools.

Looking ahead we will be opening a third school in Croydon, in Nov-Dec 2025.

Our schools are for pupils with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) difficulties, and most of our pupils will also have some combination of additional complex needs, such as Anxiety, ASD, ADHD, FASD, PDA, OCD, ODD, Toxic Childhood Stress / Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Attachment difficulties, Developmental Trauma or Delay, Speech and Language difficulties, Cognition and Learning difficulties, Specific Learning Difficulties such as Dyslexia and Dyspraxia; and more.

Many of our young people will have displayed challenging behaviour at their previous schools.

We help our pupils to succeed at Maypole School, in spite of their very complex needs, and their difficulties at previous schools.We provide a warm, nurturing, therapeutic approach for our pupils, which also extends to the staff team we work with.

Maypole School provides a wide range of training and career opportunities for teaching assistants, unqualified teachers & teachers.
