About Us
Located in Huddersfield, our new school offers a safe and supportive environment for young people aged between 5 and 18 with Autism and/or social, emotional, and mental health difficulties (SEMH). Our young people may have a number of diagnoses including ASD, ADHD, FASD, anxiety and/or, communication and interaction, cognition, and learning needs.
Our vision is to provide a learning environment where young people can thrive, feel supported, safe and are then able to leave school happy with relevant experiences and outcomes to enable them to contribute to the wider community.
Our main goal in education is to help young people to reach their full potential.
Barraclough Hall School is a fully refurbished setting with a thoughtfully designed therapeutic learning environment that balances tranquility and functionality, catering to the diverse needs of our pupils.
Our school features a peaceful woodland space and a courtyard sensory area that are designed to enrich outdoor learning experiences.
Inside we offer a variety of well-resourced rooms including classrooms for structured learning, multipurpose rooms for creative, therapeutic and tailored activities as well as communal areas fostering a sense of community and belonging.
We are passionate about what we do and that is providing high-quality, aspirational education with bespoke learning opportunities, offering individual care and a complete range of support that is constantly evolving with their needs.
Parents are treated as the expert about their child. They can talk to any member of staff and know that their views will be heard and acted upon. This gives parents confidence in the school.
