About Us

Newlands School is a generic Primary Special School, catering for 120 children aged 3-11.
Newlands opened in September 2007, following the re-organisation of Special Schools in Rochdale.
We are co-located with Hollin Primary School; Hollin Primary is a mainstream Primary school,  and together we form the Hollin Learning Community. Being co-located with a mainstream primary school allows us to have ongoing inclusion links between the 2 schools for those pupils for whom this is appropriate. 

 

We focus on giving children the opportunity to learn as individuals, breaking down any barriers to their learning and celebrating success at every opportunity. Parents and families also play a positive role in partnership with our school to ensure that each child gets the best education possible. We believe that children learn best when home and school work together to promote learning, confidence and independence.


Newlands provision is flexible, with an emphasis on meeting the changing needs of individual children. A range of interventions are in place to achieve this, supported by trained and committed staff. Current school development priorities are detailed in the School Improvement Plan.
