Moor House School & College

Who we are

Our vision is of a society where speech and language disabilities do not prevent a young person from achieving his or her learning and communication potential, building an independent life and contributing positively to society.

Moor House is a non-maintained Special Needs School and College, a registered charity and a world class centre of excellence, providing specialist education, therapy and residential care for children and young people aged 7-19 with the most severe and complex speech and language disabilities.

Since its opening, over a thousand children have improved their communication skills by attending Moor House. Innovative work in many areas of speech and language therapy and in teaching methods continues to place the School & College at the forefront of research, development and practice in the education of children and young people with communication disorders.

The school’s first patron was Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, who supported the school’s work and visited in 1953. Moor House School & College is fortunate to now have HRH Countess of Wessex as our Patron.

For over 65 years we have witnessed the transformational journeys of our students, and today, Moor House is one of very few specialist speech and language schools in the UK that continues to be a leading centre of expertise in the field.
