Welcome

Welcome to the Durants School website. I hope you find it a useful site that gives you relevant and interesting information about the school. Whether you are a pupil, parent or interested professional the website is designed to help you understand what we do at Durants School and how we work with our pupils.

Durants School is a maintained special school that caters for 95 pupils from 5-19 with complex needs. We cater for pupils who have learning difficulties as well as pupils who are on the autistic spectrum.  The school has undergone a transformation in
recent years. In conjunction with Enfield Local
Authority, the school is developing a
secondary provision for pupils with autism
in the Borough. This is in addition to
existing high quality provision for pupils
with learning difficulties that the school
has traditionally catered for.

These developments have included
extensive new building work as well as the
development of training programmes to
enable staff to meet the additional needs
of pupils coming to the school. Whilst this
work is still in progress Durants School has reached
an exciting stage in its development and a
recent OFSTED report (September 2008)
recognised that rapid improvements have been made.
