About St Piers
St Piers is an innovative and creative education setting for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. These can include epilepsy, autism, and severe learning difficulties. We believe nothing should stand in the way of a full education, personal development or physical and emotional wellbeing.
We are part of Young Epilepsy, the national charity dedicated to improving the lives of young people with epilepsy. Our campus in Lingfield, Surrey has been supporting children and young people with epilepsy for over 125 years.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to create an environment of growth, where young people can thrive and become a valued part of their community. That is why we follow guiding principles, in the classroom and beyond, that allow children and young people not only to achieve academic success, but also to realise their potential and go on to lead happy, fulfilled lives.
Our Campus
Our campus spans approximately 260 acres of stunning rural grounds just outside Lingfield. It is a relaxing, calm environment where pupils and students can feel safe and secure. Facilities include specialist classrooms, therapy spaces, residential houses, our farm, sports areas and a boating lake.
Our Team
Our staff include specialist teachers, residential staff, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and on-site medical staff. We work together to make sure each pupil and student receives consistent, personalised support across their education, wellbeing and day-to-day life.
Our History
St Piers has provided specialist support for children with epilepsy since 1897. What began as a pioneering residential school has grown into one of the country's most respected specialist settings, continuing to evolve to meet the changing needs of young people and their families.

We are regulated by both Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
