Cross Keys Learning are an Independent Special School, judged as Good by OFSTED, registered to provide education for KS3 and KS4 learners (11-17 years) with an Education Heath & Care plan (EHCP).
We opened our St Peter's school in September 2018 to provide a nurturing, inclusive and supportive environment for Autistic students and those with Social & Communication difficulties.
In 2022 we opened our second site at Womenswold near Canterbury and the school now has a capacity for 70 students. Read more.
Pupils overcome many significant challenges because the school enables them to become resilient and resourceful.

The highly nurturing relationships between staff and pupils enable pupils to achieve well. Pupils aspire to reach the high expectations the school has of them, academically, socially and emotionally. Over time, they reach their goals and accomplish far more than they could ever have hoped for.

The proprietor body, staff and the board of governors are unwavering in their commitment to provide pupils with a good quality of education.

Parents and carers are highly positive about the school. They appreciate how staff help and care for their children, signposting them to helpful professionals where necessary. Many parents happily shared their stories of how staff had supported their child and family at a difficult time.

The curriculum in all subjects is ambitious, carefully structured and interesting. Staff carefully consider pupils’ individual starting points, as well as the aspirational outcomes they want all pupils to achieve.

The school places a strong emphasis on the well-being of its highly vulnerable pupils. Staff use well-considered strategies to help pupils feel safe and reassured if they become unsettled or anxious. A range of bespoke interventions and therapies blend effectively into everyday routines.

Our St Peter's site is conveniently located just off Northdown Road, next to Revolution Skate Park and on the loop route of the local bus service.
The facilities at our site have been thoughtfully designed to enhance the learning experience.
Situated in the idyllic village of Womenswold just outside Canterbury, this site opened as an extension of our St. Peter's site in 2023
The main school building boasts two spacious classrooms designed for a dynamic and interactive learning experience, an art studio, an equipped kitchen for practical lessons, and intervention and sensory rooms tailored to meet the individual needs of our students.
