Breckenbrough School Limited is a registered charitable trust school in Sandhutton, North Yorkshire, England.
The school is a residential school with a Quaker Society of Friends foundation. It provides for special educational needs for male pupils with Asperger syndrome, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), and ADD (attention deficit disorder). The school affords alternative education for pupils to that at mainstream schools. It provides courses towards GCSE examinations, and prepares pupils for further education and career placements.[citation needed] A separate 'After Care' charity supports pupils' post-school life.[citation needed]
Breckenbrough School was founded in 1934 by Arthur Fitch, a Quaker psychiatrist, at Dunnow Hall, Slaidburn. It moved to Ledston Hall near Castleford in 1948, and has been at Breckenbrough Hall, Sandhutton, since 1958.[citation needed]
A 2013 Ofsted social care inspection report judged the school to be overall Grade 2 (good).[1]
