The Wing Centre
Bournemouth, Dorset
The Wing Centre is the post-16 department of Southlands School. It is a 38 week per year residential special college for young men of 16 - 19 years who have Asperger Syndrome. For students living close to the Centre there is some flexibility for day provision.
The purpose of The Wing Centre is to use the help available through specialist approaches, environments and staff expertise, to prepare students to meet the demands of adult life in a positive way. We aim to provide a supportive environment and a range of opportunities within which students can develop self-esteem, self-advocacy, personal dignity, confidence, maturity and enjoy positive relationships leading to optimum quality of life. This is achieved through therapy, support and appropriate educational, social, emotional, and spiritual programmes that take account of AS learning styles. Individualised plans are designed to meet specific needs and these plans form the basis of the three-way partnership between student, family and staff. A focused, enjoyable and calm atmosphere is encouraged at all times.
A Parent Liaison Officer is available to discuss, in confidence, a child’s specific needs and we are delighted to help with any questions or to arrange a visit to the school. Please call 0800 288 9779.
