Exeter House School is part of the Brunel Academies Trust and is fully aligned to the Brunel vision and ethos, believing there are 'no barriers only potential . We believe that sustainable learning can occur only when there is meaningful engagement.
The process of engagement is a journey which connects a child and their environment (including people, ideas, materials and concepts) to enable learning and achievement to take place. Every child is individual and every child is unique.
Exeter House School is a special school for children aged 4-19 years of age with severe, profound and multiple learning difficulties and complex needs. All pupils have an EHCP. The school is across 3 sites in Salisbury.
Exeter House School is committed to active, creative, reflective learning, maximised by encouragement for each individual pupil to achieve their best in every aspect of their development.
