Since then its been providing respite care for young people aged 5 – 25 with a range of physical disabilities and associated learning difficulties, and was listed in Ofsteads top 32 schools in 2006.
Plans for Seale-Hayne include an arts centre, assistive technology unit, training and conference centre, music facilities, day and outreach services, small farm and shops.
