Welcome to LVS Hassocks
Campus & Facilities
At LVS Hassocks, our students learn a range of academic and vocational skills in a stimulating environment.
We are incredibly proud of our beautiful campus and our Estates Team work tirelessly to ensure we are utilising the area to the full as an additional educational resource for the school.
Our school provides a supportive education set within a tranquil and relaxing 36-acre campus in the countryside.
How To Apply
We are an autism-specific school, offering day places to young people with autism aged 11-19. All applicants are carefully considered to ensure that the school is suitable for the young person’s age, ability, aptitude and special educational needs and that the placement is compatible with the provision of efficient education for other pupils already attending the school.
Wellbeing
Learning for wellbeing provides pupils with the skills and knowledge to be physically and mentally healthy and have the stamina to sustain work.
We support the learning process by focusing on the emotional wellbeing and physical health of our pupils.
Curriculum
Here at LVS Hassocks our students learn in a structured environment with high levels of targeted intervention and differentiation throughout the school day.
Although we operate on broadly age-related levels of achievement, we use a ‘stage not age’ approach to learning and anticipate that our students will gain a range of GCSEs and vocational qualifications at the end of Key Stages 4 and 5.
Therapies
At LVS Hassocks, we support our students to develop calming strategies, suited to the individual, to help deal with increased anxiety.
Our on-site Speech and Language Therapist (SaLT), Occupational Therapist (OT) and therapy assistant support students on a daily basis.
Our Therapy is integrated across the curriculum, with students able to access specialist (1:1), targeted (group work) and a universal provision (blended across the curriculum).
Moving On
The focus of our education is to improve the outcome possibilities for our students.
We aim to prepare young people with autism for life in the workplace so that when they leave us they have the skills and knowledge to be able to get a job and sustain work.
Students work toward a variety of recognised A-levels, GCSEs, entry level qualifications and BTECs and we aim to give them work experience before leaving school.

Edwards Vacuum kindly work with LVS Hassocks to provide work experience for our students.
Last week, they provided an engaging and interactive workshop for our Year 7s, introducing them to basic vacuum science, Edwards Vacuum products, and the important role engineers play.
Our students had a fantastic time - thank you Edwards! 🙌

Today marks the last day of Autism Awareness Month! ❤️
At LVS Hassocks, we celebrated by spending the morning off timetable and getting to know our community. We had different group activities across the site from Lego workshops and ‘getting to know you’ games, to codebreaking and scavenger hunts.
Many thanks to Mady for leading on the organisation and to all the staff and students for making it such a fun morning.
