About Us

Brompton Hall School is based within private grounds in the pretty village of Brompton‑by‑Sawdon and is a Special Education School for pupils aged between 8 and 16 years, who have an Education, Health and Care Plan. Our Multi Academy Trust is a group of inspirational and aspirational mainstream and specialist schools in North Yorkshire, Hull and South Yorkshire whose main objective is to ensure that all pupils make exceptional progress through the development of outstanding staff. We are a specialist school for pupils aged 8 to 16 with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. Our pupils join us from mainstream schools because they benefit from a setting that can provide additional behavioural support and a more personalised approach to helping them succeed. We use a therapeutic approach called Thrive to help support children and young people with their emotional and social development.
