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. The provision is currently split over two sites within Salisbury, Wiltshire. One on Somerset Road (142 pupils) and a smaller satellite centre in Salisbury for 24 pupils. Exeter House sits within Brunel Academies Trust.

The Academy has had a period of regular growth, change and collaboration over a number of years. The Academy was graded as ‘good’ by Ofsted in June 2023 and continues to deliver an effective and inclusive education for all pupils. Brunel and Exeter House are committed to supporting the SEND system within Wiltshire and as a result have partnered with Wiltshire local authority to deliver an increase in specialist places for pupils in South Wiltshire.

This commitment has resulted in the Academy planning to drive this change through the submission of a significant business case to the regional director (Department of Education). These proposed changes will support the trust vision and Academy’s strategic drive to further develop a high-quality education and system of excellence to support the school and wider SEND system.
