Description

About us:
• FootPrints School is a special needs school with a difference. We currently have 45 pupils ranging from 6years to 16years of age, we do not work in Grades. Our children have varied “labels” that have been attached to them by outside sources.
• The staff at our school are very passionate about giving all our children opportunities to be able to contribute to society in their own unique way. We believe that each child is able and valuable with much to offer the world.
• Our children have been rejected by both government and private schools because of their labels. Currently our pupil ‘labels’ are cerebral palsy, hearing impaired, asbergers, autistic, burn victim, near drowning victim, severe speech impediments, visually impaired, Blind, learning difficulties, ADD, ADHD, obsessive compulsive disorder and severe epileptic etc.
We take the time to work out who they are and what their method of learning is.
