The school is located within the hospital grounds. It is a single storey building occupying a space on the ground floor. We have a suite of specialist teaching rooms and a fitness room which students are able to enjoy. There are no steps anywhere in the school and the school is wheelchair accessible.
There is a short stay drop off space for a single vehicle directly outside the school entrance, to allow our students who travel in taxis to arrive safely. In addition there is a public pay and display car park and parking is available in the surrounding roads for parents and visitors.
The small specialist setting of Northgate School is conducive to meeting the individual needs of every young person. Students successfully transition from Northgate back into traditional school settings and also a range of post 16 providers.
