Classroom-based Initial Teacher Training (ITT) programme based in Columbus School & College. Lift Schools is one of the largest school trusts nationwide and we are partnered with Ark Teacher Training to deliver our programme., 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?
