Hazel Court is a community specialist school for pupils who require an individual educational programme due to their learning difficulties. We always welcome visits to the school in person to see our unrivalled facilities and the teaching staff in action.

Hazel Court is officially designated as a school for children with complex needs including autism. This means that we cover the severe and profound learning difficulties range, but we are also now meeting the needs of an increasing number of pupils with educational needs in the moderate learning difficulties range.

Hazel Court has a well deserved reputation for providing its pupils with both an outstanding education and superb opportunities for integration.

The school is on two sites; Hazel Court School (our totally unique purpose built secondary school which is co-located with The Causeway School); and the Hazel Court School FE Department (another totally unique purpose built building, co-located with Sussex Downs College).

'Co-location' means that we share our facilities with another educational establishment (a mainstream secondary school, and an FE College) giving us 'the best of both worlds', with the specialist teaching only our highly experienced staff can provide plus superb and natural integration experiences.
