Set in more than 20 acres of beautiful countryside, Welburn Hall School is located in the market town of Kirkbymoorside, on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. Originally a stately home, the Hall has been a school since the 1950s.

 

Our recently refurbished, spacious buildings and grounds provide excellent facilities, supported by a dedicated and caring staff team. Together, we create a calm, inspiring environment in which to learn, live, and work.

 

A North Yorkshire Council maintained special school, we are a National Nurture School with a strong reputation for excellence; offering a dynamic, innovative and unique learning journey for learners aged 8 to 19 years, with a wide range of learning difficulties. 

 

We are proud to be accredited by the National Autistic Society, as a specialist setting proving our commitment to understanding autism, offering excellent support to our learners.

 

We pride ourselves in being a warm and friendly school; our staff are our greatest resource and are highly valued for the contribution and difference they make to the lives of our learners. Our ethos and core values of respect, perseverance and excellence support this model and are lived out in the daily work of the school.

 

Our learners enjoy a varied programme that includes classroom-based curriculum learning, sensory activities, music therapy, swimming and access to a hydrotherapy pool. They also take part in outdoor learning on the Farm and in Forest School, as well as enterprise projects such as running the school tuck shop.

 

Learners can achieve Entry Level 1 - Entry Level 3 courses in various subjects / topics.

 

Our aim is to ensure all learners have the opportunities they need to reach their full potential for academic achievement, independence and personal development.

 

We are looking for a wonderful teacher for one of our secondary groups. These classes consist of an average of 10 learners with diverse needs, including Autism and Moderate Learning Difficulties.
