What Greenmead School does

Greenmead School is a Wandsworth Local Authority maintained special day school located at 147 Beaumont Road, Southfields, London, serving 65 pupils aged 2-11 with Statements of Special Educational Needs or Education, Health and Care Plans. Its pupil cohort is concentrated in severe/profound and multiple learning difficulties (SLD/PMLD), complex physical and sensory impairments, and complex medical needs, with autism considered alongside other complex needs. The school operates across four departments — Early Years Foundation Stage, Pre-Formal, Semi-Formal, and Formal — delivered through nine named classes, using the DfE Engagement Model and Pre-Key Stage Standards frameworks.

The core operational model is an integrated therapy-and-education approach: NHS-commissioned Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Creative Arts Therapies, and a nursing team are embedded on-site as a multi-disciplinary team alongside specialist teachers. Greenmead applies a Total Communication Approach spanning Makaton, Sign Supported English, PODD, PECS, and hi-tech AAC including eye gaze, and hosts specialist clinics (feeding, wheelchair, orthotic) serving multiple London boroughs via partnerships with the NHS Integrated Care Board, Wandsworth and Westminster Wheelchair Services, Queen Mary's Hospital, and Great Ormond Street Hospital's AAC Hub. It is co-located with Ronald Ross Primary School to enable inclusion pathways.

Greenmead is a public sector entity with no tuition fees. Revenue derives from Wandsworth LA high-needs SEND funding per pupil, Pupil Premium, PE/Sports Premium, Short Breaks funding, and NHS commissioning for clinical services; minor ancillary income comes from nursery meal charges (£2.75/day) and after-school play scheme contributions. Admissions are exclusively coordinated through Wandsworth Local Authority's SNAS, and the Friends of Greenmead (registered charity no. 1012795) supplements facilities through parent-led fundraising. The school was most recently inspected by Ofsted on 24 February 2026 with a positive outcome.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Treloar School: Large specialist residential and day school in Hampshire for students with physical disabilities and complex needs including PMLD. Broader geographic and age range but operates at greater scale within the same specialist SLD/PMLD domain.

Others

• Royal Hospital School: Independent sector school with broader SEND provision; included for context rather than direct comparability, illustrating how maintained special schools sit alongside other specialist provision routes.
• Kids Academy Trust: Multi-academy trust operating specialist SEND provision across multiple sites. Relevant as an alternative operating structure (MAT) that could in future absorb or replicate Greenmead's single-site model at greater scale.

Direct peers

• Willow Dene School: Greenwich-maintained special school for pupils with severe and complex learning disabilities, including SLD/PMLD. Comparable age range (2-11 primary site) and integrated therapy provision.
• Woodfield School: Westminster/Kensington-maintained special day school for pupils with severe and complex learning difficulties. Comparable maintained-school funding model and SEND population focus in a London borough context.
• Perseid School: Merton-maintained special day school for pupils aged 3-19 with SLD/PMLD, complex physical/sensory needs and medical needs. Highly comparable cohort, curriculum structure and integrated therapy model.
• Ickburgh School: Hackney-maintained all-age special school for pupils with severe and complex learning disabilities. Comparable LA-maintained operating model, EHCP admissions, and integrated therapy approach.
• Linden Lodge School: Wandsworth LA-maintained special day school serving pupils with sensory impairment and complex needs. Operates within the same local authority and admissions framework as Greenmead, making it the closest same-borough specialist peer.
• Manor Green School: Hounslow LA-maintained special school for pupils aged 2-19 with severe/profound and complex learning difficulties. Closely comparable population, EHCP-based admissions and multidisciplinary support model.

Emerging players

• National Autistic Society (NAS) Schools: Operates a network of specialist schools and services for autistic pupils in the UK. Partial overlap where Greenmead also supports pupils with ASD alongside other complex needs, with comparable specialist education expertise.
