Welcome To Lonsdale School

Whether this is your first contact with our school or you have had links with us for many years, welcome to Lonsdale.

Lonsdale School was opened in 1971, as a purpose built school for pupils with physical and neurological impairments and is located in spacious, attractive grounds in the Pin Green area of Stevenage. Pupils at Lonsdale come from Hertfordshire and the surrounding counties following Statutory Assessment of their Special Education Needs.

Our mission is to achieve excellence in meeting the needs of every individual at Lonsdale. Each pupil has unique and sometimes complex needs.

In addition to a physical or neurological impairment, pupils may have sensory loss, a medical condition or associated difficulty in learning.

To achieve our mission the partnership between home and school is of vital importance.
