We cater for approximately 150 students between the ages of 11 and 19 years who experience severe learning difficulties (SLD) and profound, multiple and complex medical needs. A growing number of our pupils also have an autism spectrum condition (ASC). Portland offers co-educational day provision to pupils from a catchment area which covers the city of Sunderland and beyond.

All students have a statement of special educational needs (SEN) issued by the local authority which identifies Portland as the appropriate provision to meet their specific needs. Volunteers may be accepted to work with the pupils.
