Welcome to Hillcrest Shifnal School

The Head Teacher, Senior Leadership Team, Teachers and support staff liaise closely with parents and carers to ensure the best outcomes for all of our learners.

By providing a small group settings, with a nurturing ethos, yet high academic aims for all of our students we aim to prepare our students for adult life, offering high quality learning yet emotional support throughout the curriculum. PACE and knowledge of complex trauma is at the centre of all of our practice.

Our school has a designated Primary, Key Stage 3 Transitions and Secondary department, as well as an individualised Student Support Service that provides more intensive support and a 1:1 setting. Vocational subjects are taught within the school setting using our specialist teaching areas and we access external provision to provide a range of different learning environments dependent on student need.
