I offer you a warm welcome from the Lansdowne Turney Federation community. We are two schools offering specialist provision in Lambeth for children and young people with special educational needs and Autistic Spectrum Condition. Turney School is situated in West Dulwich and is for children and young people aged 4-19 years, who have complex needs and autism.
Lansdowne is near the centre of vibrant Brixton and is for young people aged 11-19 years, with autism and special educational needs. Our dedicated staff in both schools offer a calm, nurturing and structured learning environment where our pupils learn and thrive. We value and work closely with our parents and carers, as well as ensuring a range of therapy support.
Our learning is practical and community based, enabling our young people to become independent young adults, living, working and enjoying leisure pursuits in the community. We hope you find the web-site helpful in showing what we do across the Federation.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
