Cambrian plans ‘significant investment’ and has now renamed the school Cambian Spring Hill School. It aims to provide education and care for students with autism who also have complex needs and challenging behaviour.

The school staged an open day for students, parents, local authorities and community groups to attend with football training and a computer gaming workshop.

The school also welcomed Councillor Pauline McHardy, Mayor of Ripon.
