Welcome to the Website of The William Henry Smith School

We are a Residential Special School based in Brighouse, West Yorkshire. Most boys reside with us four nights of the week, although we do have some day places. Our purpose is to meet the needs of boys between the ages of 8 – 16 years, who have social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. We also meet additional needs that relate to Specific Learning Difficulties, and common diagnoses amongst our boys include ADHD and ASD.

At The William Henry Smith School we aim to create a caring, secure, stimulating and flexible learning environment which serves to provide every child, through success and achievement, the health, safety and engagement opportunities needed to thrive.

We prepare our young people for adulthood through the teaching of skills and attitudes which will enable them to participate fully in society and give them the foundations to become lifelong learners.

Learning by achievement underpins everything we do at The William Henry Smith School, as we all endeavour to do our maximum to help each other succeed to the best of our ability.

The William Henry Smith School recently achieved the ECM Standards Award, Investors in Pupils Award, Investors in People Award and also Specialist Schools Status. We also have an "Ofsted outstanding" rating.
