  Columbus School and College (CSC) has been established after an interesting journey dating back to 2000. CSC was formerly two separate special needs schools in Chelmsford -Woodlands School in Patching Hall Lane and The Hayward School in Maltese Road.
Woodlands School catered for children with profound and multiple learning difficulties and complex learning difficulties aged 3 - 19 years and Hayward School catered for children with moderate learning difficulties and autism aged 4 - 16 years. The two schools federated in 2005 to form Chelmsford New Model Special School with a single governing body. There were two campuses - Woodlands Campus and Hayward Campus. On 1st September, 2009 the two schools formally amalgamated to form Columbus School and College. Who is Lift Schools?
