Sommerville is a school for students with special educational needs.
We support students with their learning between the ages of 5 and 21 across 15 sites in the eastern suburbs of Auckland. Our base school in Panmure is our ‘Mothership’, with 17 satellite classes in local primary, intermediate and secondary schools from Glendowie through to Owairoa in Howick.
A Remarkable Team
Our students are well supported by our remarkable team. A unique group of specialists, – experienced and committed.
Each student works alongside caring professionals, whose responsibility is to ensure that our student’s needs are met. Their development is planned and monitored, their outcomes are celebrated and reported to parents and professionals. These core groups of specialist teachers and therapists are instrumental in supporting students in working towards achieving our young person’s goals during their time at Sommerville.
Sommerville School’s highly skilled and deeply committed teaching team value every individual young person for who they are, encourage their progress, celebrate their achievements and inspire confidence in their futures. This is exemplified by two successive ORS rankings, placing Sommerville in the top 10% of all schools.
Clear, outcome referenced, assessment-based measurements enable us to demonstrate that we make a positive difference to the personal, social and learning lives of each young person in our care.
