Welcome to Clarke Road Special School

Clarke Road School is a NSW Department of Education and Training Special School. It is situated in leafy Clarke Road approximately 10 minutes south of Hornsby shopping centre and opposite Hornsby South Primary School. It is part of the Hornsby School Education Area.

Our school provides individualised programs for students, aged from 4 to 18 years, with moderate or severe intellectual disabilities and physical disabilities.

We liaise closely with families in designing the optimal individual education program for each student. We have the support of a school Counsellor and access therapists through the local area School Age Therapy Team (DADHC).
