About The Goldhill Learning Foundation
The Goldhill Learning Foundation is an independent specialist school that provides high-quality education for boys and girls aged 7-14 with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health needs (SEMH). Alongside the SEMH needs identified, some children may have additional diagnoses such as Autism and ADHD. All pupils attending have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
The Goldhill Learning Foundation has been developed through the remarkable work of the Goldhill Play Association. For the last 50 years, they have offered outstanding services including supervised adventure play, youth groups, alternative provision, and family support within Leicester and Leicestershire. Through the incredible dedication and leadership of Dee Dixon, Goldhill has grown and thrived, providing support to thousands of young people.
