Grace Garden School
Welcome to Grace Garden School
Nestled on the outskirts of Bristol, Grace Garden School is a nurturing and inspiring environment for young people aged 7 to 16 with complex needs.
At Grace Garden School our children and young people are supported to learn as much as possible outdoors, participating in crafts, gardening and the exploration of nature. From these experiences, our pupils can come to understand the larger world and their place in it, along with the connections between themselves and their community. The gardens and seasonal rhythms of the land provide the framework for the curriculum, bringing in maths, English, sciences and social skills, using practical activities to embed learning.
