Pledge2Learn is an independent special school in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, for students aged 11 to 16 with social, emotional and mental health needs, many of whom have autism. It is a specialist nurture school where students are taught in very small groups or, where needed, on a one-to-one basis.
