Sheridan School is a specialist therapeutic school in Norfolk, supporting children and young people with complex social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. We provide personalised education in a calm, nurturing environment helping each student grow in confidence, rediscover their love of learning, and realise their full potential.

Who we support

We support young people aged 7 – 16 with a range of SEMH needs, including autism, ADHD, PTSD and attachment disorders.

Many of our pupils have experienced disrupted education and we’re here to offer a fresh start with specialist teaching and therapeutic support that works the way students think and learn.

What makes Sheridan School unique?

What sets us apart is our commitment to combining therapeutic care with personalised education. Every aspect of the school from classroom routines to enrichment activities is shaped by our understanding of how children learn best when they feel safe, supported and valued. We see the potential in every student and work together to build brighter futures.

As a trauma- informed setting we have adopted the Thrive framework to help improve the mental health and wellbeing of our young people. It is the golden thread that underpins the relationships we build, as well as the curriculum and opportunities we provide. This approach enables us to better understand the needs of pupils, providing targeted, effective support that allows our young people to flourish and learn.
