About Us

Dysart is a provision for pupils who have a range of severe and complex learning disabilities, from within the Royal Borough of Kingston and beyond.  The school is part of Orchard Hill College Academy Trust.

This website aims to give a broad picture of what Dysart is all about and to show the ‘life’ of the school. At Dysart we strive to promote equality of opportunity by maximising access and by supporting every young person to develop independence and advocacy skills, self-esteem, confidence and respect for others.

Please contact us for more detailed information or for further explanation of any aspect of the school and its work.

Dysart School is an important part of an established family of specialist schools and academies that make up Orchard Hill College Academy Trust (OHCAT). OHCAT is a ‘family’ of schools, currently comprised of 13 special academies across London, Surrey, Sussex and Berkshire.

OHCAT was established in 2013 by Orchard Hill College (OHC) to share its expertise and provide services and support to specialist schools. Together, Orchard Hill College & Academy Trust (OHC&AT) provides for over 3000 learners from nursery through to further education and into adulthood.

All of us at OHC&AT are committed to realising the potential of our pupils and students and we work together to ensure they achieve their very best in their local communities.
