A Night at the Dogs

Friday 17th April to raise much needed funds for our school

St. Anne’s Special School is a co-educational school catering for children, between the ages of 4 to 18 years, with moderate to severe/profound general learning disabilities. While we pride ourselves on providing a nurturing and inspiring academic environment that enables each child to reach their full potential, we face significant challenges. Currently, statutory funding is limited and often falls short of covering the essential costs required to support our children’s complex needs effectively.
