"The school, next to Samuel Ward Academy in Chalkstone Way, caters for students with communication and language difficulties and those on the autism spectrum. It is the first of its type in Haverhill and was born out of a need to cater for children in the town and surrounding villages who have special needs but who currently have to travel much further to have those met. Charlie Taylor, chief executive of the National College of Teaching and Leadership, who has a strong interest in the development of special schools, cut a ribbon to celebrate the completion of phase one."
