a growing need

Our Story

I’ve always loved children, and have been teaching for over 15 years. In 2016, after seeing the desperate need for an inclusive school in my local community, I founded Milkwood Learning Academy. 

Milkwood Learning Academy caters for children with special learning needs and our students have a wide range of abilities. The majority of our students are autistic or have intellectual disabilities. 

Our vision is to see a world where all children reach their full potential as individuals, enabling them to have meaningful purpose in their community and the greater society.

Our unique approach to learning, commitment to community, and good quality services ensure Milkwood Learning Academy’s continued success.
