Welcome

My name is Mr Culley, I am the Acting Headteacher of The Mark Way School, we warmly welcome you to our school.
The Mark Way School in Andover is a school for young people with Special Educational Needs aged 11-16, the school is designated as a moderate learning difficulties (MLD) school.

We cater for a range of Special Educational Needs within the school, these include; Moderate Learning Difficulties; Global, Developmental Delay; Autism Spectrum Conditions; Speech, Language and Communication Disorder; gross and fine motor difficulties and moderate visual impairment and moderate hearing impairment. More recently young people with more severe learning difficulties (SLD) have joined the school but this is not our area of expertise.

At The Mark Way School we aim for our students to achieve the best possible outcomes given their starting points and we are incredibly aspirational for all that join the school.

As a small school we have a very strong sense of community which we have managed to maintain despite doubling in size over the past few years. Young people attending the school report they feel well supported and their special needs are met well by the school.

Staff are highly trained and professional and know the students and their families extremely well and work with them for the best outcomes possible. All students who attend the school have an ‘Education and Healthcare Plan’ (EHCP) and this is required to gain placement in the school. Placements are gained through the Local Authority SEN department; the school is not able to agree placements for young people in any other way.

We welcome visits to our school as this gives a real sense of the provision available in the school and the general environment. If you want to arrange a visit to the school, please contact the school admin office directly on 01264 351835.

If you would like paper copies of any documents on the website, please do not hesitate to contact the Admin Office for more information.

Thank you for visiting our website, I hope it gives you an insight into our school.

Mr L Culley | Headteacher
