About Millcourt School

Millcourt School is an independent specialist day school providing high quality education for boys and girls. Based in Shelf, Yorkshire, the school meets the needs of a diverse group of pupils with Autism, ADHD, Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, alongside a range of other associated conditions.

A big warm welcome to our website

Our school offers a highly specialised education that combines a broad and diverse academic and social curriculum, opening doors for pupils to new opportunities and enriching experiences.

We believe in a collaborative approach and work closely with families and the wider community to create a strong, supportive network around every child. This collaboration allows us to provide consistency, clear structure and a nurturing environment where pupils feel valued and understood.

Open, ongoing communication and meaningful opportunities for parental involvement are at the heart of our approach, helping to build a sense of trust and belonging throughout the school. This shared dedication between home and school plays a vital role in nurturing pupils’ emotional and social well-being.

It also empowers children and young people with the confidence and encouragement they need to thrive both academically and personally. Together, we create a foundation that inspires every child to reach their full potential.

We are dedicated to listening to and supporting pupils as they overcome barriers to learning, providing a range of therapeutic support along the way. Our mission is to develop each pupil, broadening their knowledge, celebrate diversity and foster an understanding of the wider world.

Head Teacher, Neil Bourke
