About

Farney Close is a special needs school in Sussex that provides a well-balanced academic and social education that prepares young people for the future.

Young people that attend our school have access and input from our expert team which includes Teachers, TAs, Residential Social Care Workers, a Referrals and Inclusion Officer, A School Social Worker, School Nurse, SENCO, Art Therapist, Speech and Language Therapist, Adolescent counsellor, and their support teams.

These adults work with young people's individual networks to support and guide in every aspect of young people's development, applying a proactive, forward-thinking approach.

As well as high quality educational facilities and small "homely" residential units, we also have a large sports hall with a newly refurbished gym, and a vocational block where young people can learn such skills as mechanics, construction and catering skills.
