Victoria Education Centre

General information

Victoria Education Centre, is a non-maintained, Ofsted-Outstanding special school in Poole, Dorset offering specialised, high quality education, therapy and care for young people aged 3-19. In addition to this we now offer a residential transition service for 18-25 year olds.
Victoria is an exciting, innovative and dynamic place. Our vision is clear – we are a Centre where successful learning and high levels of achievement prepare children and young adults for fulfilling future lives.
The students who attend Victoria have physical disabilities or complex medical/neurological conditions and many have additional needs including communication difficulties, learning difficulties and sensory impairments.
Children and young people come to us as from across the country. Those living close enough come daily while others stay in our Children’s Home or ‘Horizons’ adult residential provision overnight for varying periods depending on need. We are open for 52 weeks of the year and we offer flexible short break packages.
Our student’s needs are ongoing and we strive to give them the best in their education, therapies and life experience.
Victoria Education Centre is part of Livability, registered charity in England and Wales: 1116530
