Springwater Academy

We are a vibrant special school based in Harrogate which caters for children and young people with an EHCP aged 2 – 19 years old. We offer places to children and young people with profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), severe learning difficulties (SLD), physical difficulties (PD).

Whilst many of our wonderful young people have co-occurring needs, we are also highly skilled in supporting autistic children and young people to flourish and achieve. Our community attends from across North Yorkshire and neighbouring areas and authorities.

We pride ourselves in being a warm and welcoming academy that works closely with parents, carers and multidisciplinary teams to provide excellent educational provision for our wider community. We are an ambitious and inclusive community where every young person is celebrated and supported to achieve and thrive in life. We are ambitious for our young people and ourselves.

We provide an engaging, safe, caring and inclusive environment where individual needs are understood, voices are heard, and differences are valued. Through a personalised curriculum and a dedicated, forward-thinking colleague team, we enable every young person to achieve their best possible outcomes in education, independence, and life.
