Notton House is situated in leafy Wiltshire between Chippenham and Lacock. The site itself is stunning with huge grounds a forest school area poly tunnel and raised gardening beds for each class an outdoor gym and low level traversing wall. Inside the Grade II listed building are 39 bedrooms many with en-suites a cinema room a fitness suite a sensory room and a gaming suite.

Within the purpose built and more modern education block there are a number of classrooms a sensory room a science lab a library and a music room.
