About the Sheiling School
Located in a beautiful, 45-acre woodland setting near Ringwood on the Hampshire-Dorset border, The Sheiling Ringwood (which includes the Sheiling School and Sheiling College) is an independent Camphill Rudolf Steiner special educational trust. Celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2026, the school provides day and residential education and tailored therapeutic care for children and young people aged 5 to 25 with severe, complex, or moderate learning disabilities, including autism and challenging behaviors. Grounded in a holistic “heart, head, and hands” approach, the school integrates a creative, hands-on curriculum with a multi-disciplinary support team offering speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, eurythmy, and craft workshops. Its peaceful, sustainable campus features eco-friendly teaching spaces, organic gardens, a gym, and an indoor swimming pool, all designed to foster real-life learning experiences, independence, and personal growth in a nurturing community setting.
