Tweendykes is a community special school that caters for pupils with severe learning difficulties and physical disabilities between the ages of 3-19. We strongly believe that every child should go to school excited about the day ahead and experience a sense of achievement when they go home. We strive to provide a curriculum that both motivates our pupils and encourages them to continue learning each and every day.

We are a member of the Humber Education Trust (HET).

We are based in a fantastic building co-located with Winifred Holtby Academy. We have outstanding facilities to meet the needs of all our pupils, these range from a hydrotherapy pool, sensory rooms and creative outdoor spaces as well as sharing Winifred Holtby’s teaching facilities such as, science labs and design technology classrooms.

"Our dedicated team provide the best educational opportunities for all of our pupils allowing each and every one of them to succeed in reaching their full potential."

Mrs Bernadettte Moorcroft
