Foxfield School meets the needs of secondary age pupils who have complex learning difficulties or profound and multiple learning difficulties. Many of the pupils have additional and associated difficulties such as sensory impairments, physical difficulties, communication difficulties, an Autistic Spectrum Condition or  complex and challenging behaviours. The school has a large multi-professional team of staff who provide a personalised education for each pupil.  Classes are arranged to meet the different ages, needs and abilities of the pupils and vary in size between four and twelve pupils. A high staff: pupil ratio is provided in each class  and  therapeutic services are integrated into the school curriculum. The school offers a broad and enriched educational experience to each pupil including a wide variety of extra curricular activities.  A great deal of importance is placed on the development of appropriate functional, social, communication and independent living skills. This leads onto the pupils achieving a range of relevant qualifications and awards as they progress through the school.  Preparation for adult life is at the core of all of the work within Foxfield School.

Foxfield is a well equipped and resourced school which offers a range of specialist facilities. In February 2015 Foxfield moved into a new building which has been designed to meet the full range of special needs of the pupils that the school caters for.
