School Services

** PUPIL VACANCIES AVAILABLE **

Doucecroft School, the Society's school for children aged 3-19 years of age is situated in Eight Ash Green on the outskirts of Colchester.

The school provides a specialised quality service, tailored to meet the unique and complex needs of each individual child at the school. This service is extended to the Further Education Department (still located in Kelvedon) which specifically caters for 16-19 year olds.  The department focuses on developing each student's potential by providing an individual tailored, and student-centred curriculum, incorporating appropriate practical activities. These are aimed at promoting the student's independent living skills and preparing him or her for adult life.

There are currently places available for students at both Doucecroft and the FE Dept. - please contact the sites directly for more information
