About us

We are Witherslack Group and we provide inspirational education and care to children and young people, resulting in life changing experiences and countless stories of success.

Witherslack Group is made up of a cast of thousands, whether it be the teaching, care or therapy staff or the children, young people and their families.

Everyone plays their part as they all combine to realise life changing moments and endless stories of success.

Don’t just take our word for it though, watch our short animation to find out what we are truly about.

We are the leading provider of specialist education and care for children and young people with social, emotional and mental health needs, communication difficulties (autistic spectrum disorder; Asperger’s Syndrome; speech, language and communication needs), ADHD and complex learning needs.

Our track record of success and sector-leading Ofsted judgements has been achieved through an ethos of high aspiration, placement stability through our ‘team around the child’ approach, unique in-school therapy solutions and our inspiring environments. These all combine to optimise life opportunities for children and young people, give confidence to parents and carers, and deliver unmatched value for local authorities.

Our focus on support, care and acceptance allows each young person to develop as an independent individual, equipped with the knowledge, experience and life skills to look to the future with increased confidence and aspiration. We are truly proud of the role we play in changing the lives of young people and helping them to realise their full potential.
