St Crispin's is a special school for primary and secondary age pupils. The school meets the needs of learners with complex, long term additional support needs who require a significantly modified learning environment. The needs of learners are primarily associated with intellectual disabilities and Autism Spectrum Disorders. Each class has a maximum of 6 learners. We moved into our new building in Burdiehouse in early 2022. Facilities include 13 classrooms, Art, Music, Home Economics classrooms, a PE hall and swimming pool. We also benefit from sensory and soft play rooms.
