A specialist school for children with autism, helping them to thrive.
LVS Hassocks is a school that offers a supported learning environment for young students aged 11-19 with a diagnosis of autism including Aspergers. Situated in Sayers Common in West Sussex, we are a specialist school that provides an holistic approach to specifically meet the needs of students with communication, socialisation and imagination difficulties. We offer day (Monday to Friday, 38 week) placements, and will no longer be offering residential placements from September 2019.
Our students, parents and supporting local authorities recognise and value our specialist care and innovative approach to helping young people reach their full potential through:
- combined learning methods
- focus on real work and employability skills
- promoting self awareness, health and wellbeing
Sarah Sherwood, Director of Special Educational Needs: "I am passionate about ensuring that young people with autistic spectrum disorders have relevant learning opportunities in an environment that recognises the challenges they face on a daily basis and provides them with strategies to manage their anxieties."

LVS Hassocks Student Success
We are proud of our students at LVS Hassocks and their success in their work experience placements, securing themselves further education places at college and moving on to apprenticeships and employment.
A thank you note from a parent reads: "I would like to say a big Thank You to all the staff at LVS for all the time, effort and dedication they have put in to Nat's education and development, without them he would never have reached this and been able to go on and study his chosen career. They saw in Nat what no-one else in the education system could. I have a son that I am so immensely proud of and thanks to LVS he has grown into a young man that has a wonderful future ahead of him. Thank You LVS."
