St Piers Estate & Young Epilepsy

St Piers School and College in Lingfield are part of national charity, Young Epilepsy. Together they provide education and residential facilities for children and young adults aged 5 to 25 years who have special educational needs and disabilities.

Young Epilepsy's Lingfield campus provides educational places for up to 160 day and residential students helping them to thrive and achieve their potential. The school and college specialise in the provision of services for those children and young adults with the most complex needs, including epilepsy, autism and severe learning difficulties. Young Epilepsy also delivers on-site health services, therapies and family support.

The St Piers Estate campus includes the Neville Childhood Epilepsy Centre where young people can access diagnostic and rehabilitation services along with practical support. The Centre also coordinates research into the causes and treatments of childhood epilepsy. Currently 300 children and young people use the Neville Centre to access health services and test ground-breaking equipment to aid diagnosis.
