Cornfield School is a West Sussex County Council maintained special school based in Littlehampton, providing a nurturing and structured learning environment for boys in Years 4–11 (aged 8–16) who face social, emotional, and behavioural challenges. We believe every student deserves equal access to a broad and balanced curriculum, and our hands-on, personalised approach ensures that each child is supported academically, emotionally, and socially. Through specialist programmes in life skills, creative arts, and outdoor education, we equip our students with the confidence, resilience, and independence they need to thrive — both in school and beyond.

Since coming to Cornfield School, I feel like I finally fit in. The teachers really understand me, and I have friends who support me. I love learning here!
Cornfield School has been a game-changer for my child. He feels understood and supported in ways he never did before. We've seen such a positive transformation.
Before, I found school hard, but now I'm doing things I never thought I could. The staff help me every step of the way, and I feel like I'm thriving.
My son finally feels like he fits in. The staff are incredible, and he's flourishing both academically and emotionally. We couldn't ask for a better environment.
At Cornfield, I don't feel different – I feel like I belong. I get the help I need, and it's made me more confident and happy at school.
The support our lad receives at Cornfield is amazing. He's made friends, gained confidence, and is excited to go to school every day. I'm so grateful for the care and attention he gets.
