Education & childcare

Lady Zia Wernher school is a special place of learning to enable pupil voice, curiosity, independence and happiness for today and tomorrow. It is a Luton maintained primary and early years special school for pupils aged 2-11 years.

Our values are happiness, independence, curiosity, passion, creativity & respect.

All children attending the school have severe or profound learning difficulties. Additional pupil need's can include physical, sensory and communication impairment, autistic spectrum disorder and/ or complex medical needs. Pupils are either under assessment for or have an ECHP.

The expansion is a local authority response to the growing numbers of children with SEND requiring special school places locally. Both sites have the same curriculum offer. LZW Leagrave is still under construction, with most specialist rooms due for completion in Autumn 2024. Children will be placed at either venue, key criteria will be reducing travel times and shorter distance to each site.
