Sheridan School is a specialist therapeutic school for boys and girls aged 8-18 years old with complex needs which include social, emotional and mental health difficulties (also known as SEMH). Some of the young people in our care have additional needs such as autism, post-traumatic stress disorder or attachment disorder.

The school can cater for up to 70 pupils from primary through to secondary level. We are a Norfolk-based school, welcoming young people from across the county.

We aim to deliver the highest level of education tailored to individual needs in a safe, positive and structured environment where every student is encouraged to achieve the best possible academic, social and vocational outcomes.

Located in the small village of Northwold, Sheridan School enjoys a tranquil setting in the Norfolk countryside however it is still within easy reach of the facilities and amenities of Thetford, Norwich and King’s Lynn.

Wherever a child’s potential lies, we commit ourselves to being the difference, which helps them to achieve their goals. Our specialist schools, colleges, children’s homes and fostering agency provide the highest standards of support to children with a range of needs. With an unwavering focus on achieving the very best outcomes, we empower young people to fulfil their own unique potential.

Across the Aspris services, children grow, develop and progress. They engage with learning and achieve academically, while developing emotionally and socially. With the dedicated support and expertise from our staff teams, young people build the self-esteem and independence to move forward to the next stage of their life with confidence.

Whether we are working with young people with autism, learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) difficulties or supporting some of society’s most vulnerable children, we are committed to helping each child to achieve their unique goals and aspirations.
