Hurworth House School

Hurworth House School is an independent, specialist day school for boys and girls aged 7 to 19 years who have complex learning difficulties including social, emotional and mental health difficulties and autistic spectrum disorders (ASD). The young people may also have challenging behaviour as a result of their difficulties.
