The Philip Green Memorial School, situated in Dorset, is a residential school for children with moderate to severe learning disabilities. Most of the children at the school have tried but not succeeded in mainstream schools, yet are capable of greater achievements. The school has used a combination of high expectations in a wonderfully supportive environment to deliver individual social and academic results, thus encouraging the children to look after themselves and provide for themselves wherever possible.
The Philip Green Memorial Trust donated £230,000 in 1998 to save the school from closure. Our donation paid for a major refurbishment programme which ensured the school had a long and lasting place in our society. A further donation of £150,000 was given in 2002 to pay for further alterations at the school as they had now become one of the most sought after special schools in the whole country.
