On behalf of the young people, staff and Governing Body, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Mill Green School.
Mill Green School is an exceptional Community Special School in St Helens, catering for the individual needs of young people aged 14 to 19 who present with a diverse range of needs including severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple complex physical/medical needs and autism.
Many of our young people also have social communication difficulties, sensory or physical impairments which means that they benefit from the high quality specialist support the school is able to offer. Mill Green is a school where individuals are valued and all staff and young people are challenged to give their best.
Our young people are supported so that they leave Mill Green as confident, independent life-learners who are able to express themselves and their choices, are problem solvers and are able to contribute to the community in which they live and learn.
