About Hall Cliffe School
Hall Cliffe School is an independent, specialist day school providing high quality education for boys and girls. Based in Wakefield, the school meets the needs of a diverse group of pupils with a range of complex learning needs, social and emotional difficulties and challenging behaviours.
A big warm welcome to our website
We provide our pupils with an accepting, positive and welcoming learning environment where they can access a broad curriculum enabling them to pursue academic, vocational or a blended pathway of the two, allowing individuals to grow and achieve.
We have a dedicated and talented staff team, who are relentless in their support of all our pupils. Their experience and expertise combine to ensure outstanding progress and outcomes for every child that results in them being able to exceed expectations. We foster and nurture resilience and teach the skills pupils need to manage their own emotions and self-regulate their behaviour.
The school is located in a beautiful Grade 2 listed building with state of the art facilities which creatively enhance the curriculum and reflect the nurturing ethos of the school.
We welcome visits from parents, carers, local authorities and other agencies, so please contact us for further information.
