Downs View Special School

Downs View provides specialist education to children with severe learning difficulties, profound / multiple learning difficulties, and autism in association with severe learning difficulties. The pupils are aged from 4 to 16 years old at our Downs View Woodingdean site and from 16 to 19 years old at the Downs View Link College. Following a merge with the Cedar Centre in September 2018, this site became Downs View Hollingdean. This site will close over the Autumn term and all pupils will be moved to the school site at Woodingdean. Downs View Life Skills college based in Patcham provides college education for SLD students aged 19 – 25. We provide SEN outreach services to colleagues in mainstream education.
