Southlands School
Southlands School is an Ofsted-registered independent specialist school, offering 38- week through
to 52-week residential and day placements for boys and girls aged 7-19yrs old with a diagnosis of
Asperger’s Syndrome and other associated difficulties on the Autistic Spectrum.
Southlands School’s approach to behaviour change is positive and non-aversive. The teaching styles
and strategies are developed with Asperger’s Syndrome/high-functioning autism in mind and are
very much led by the needs of the students.
The work of staff is based upon understanding the ability of the student to manage academically,
socially and emotionally in various situations. Individualised plans are designed to meet students’
specific needs, and these plans form the basis of the fourway partnership between the student,
school, family and local authority.
The curriculum is tailored to individual needs and it is supported by Individual Education Plans (IEPs).
These plans allow each student to have access to a challenging, broad, relevant and differentiated
curriculum that is designed to be Asperger’s Syndrome/ high-functioning autism friendly.
We support our students through a wide range of clinical and therapeutic inputs including:
Where we are.
Southlands School is based in a port town on the west bank of the Lymington River.

The NHS operates a residence-based healthcare system and not every person is entitled to free NHS
treatment in England. Provision of free NHS treatment is on the basis of being ordinarily resident
and is not dependent upon nationality, payment of UK taxes, national insurance (NI) contributions,
being registered with a GP, having an NHS number or owning property in the UK. Ordinarily resident
means, broadly speaking, living in the UK on a lawful and properly settled basis for the time being.
If you are not ordinarily resident in the UK, you are considered to be an overseas visitor and may be
charged for NHS hospital services. It is strongly recommended that you take out sufficient health
insurance to cover your stay.
When your health costs in the UK are covered by another EEA country or Switzerland
Under certain circumstances, your healthcare may be paid for by your country of residence. This
may apply to, for example, pensioners or seconded workers. For more details, look up the relevant
category below.
Workers
If you are coming to England as a posted or a frontier worker, you will need to check with the
relevant authorities in your home country about whether they are responsible for your healthcare
costs in the UK. You need one of the following:
•A1 form – proof that you pay NI contributions in your country and a European Health Insurance
Card (EHIC)
•S1 form – issued in your country
Once you have the relevant forms, register them with the Overseas Healthcare Team. Sent a copy of
your forms to:
The NHS in England is a residence-based system, unlike many other countries, which have insurance-
based healthcare systems. This means that all visitors to England may have to pay for NHS
healthcare, depending on their circumstances.
If you are a visitor from the European Economic Area (EEA) and you fall ill or have a medical
emergency during your temporary stay in England, then you'll need a valid European Health
Insurance Card (EHIC) issued by your home country. If you can't show a valid EHIC, you may be
charged for your treatment.
Tip
The EEA is a free trade zone between countries of the European Union (EU), Iceland, Norway and
Liechtenstein. The regulations on access to healthcare in the EEA also apply to Switzerland.
Your EHIC will cover you for treatment that becomes necessary during a visit to England, until you
return to your country. It also covers you for the treatment of pre-existing medical conditions and
for routine maternity care, providing the reason for your visit is not specifically to give birth.
Bear in mind that the healthcare system in England may be different from that in your home
country. The EHIC might not cover everything you would expect to get for free back home.
The EHIC is not an alternative to travel insurance. It will not cover any private medical healthcare,
being flown back home, or lost or stolen property. Therefore, it is important to have both an EHIC
and a valid private travel insurance policy.
If your EHIC has been lost or stolen during your visit in England and you need a replacement, then
you'll have to contact the relevant organisation in your home country to request a Provisional
Replacement Certificate (PRC).
If you do not have an EHIC and cannot obtain a PRC, you may have to pay for treatment at the
standard NHS rate.
The NHS operates a residence-based healthcare system. Most NHS services are free to people who
are ordinarily resident in the UK and are not dependent upon nationality, payment of UK taxes,
national insurance (NI) contributions, being registered with a GP, having an NHS number or owning
property in the UK. Ordinarily resident means, broadly speaking, living in the UK on a lawful and
properly settled basis for the time being, and you will be asked to prove this.
If you are a citizen of the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, you can become ordinarily
resident when you move to England, as long as you meet the criteria above.
The EEA is a free trade zone between countries of the European Union (EU), Iceland, Norway and
Liechtenstein. The regulations on access to healthcare in the EEA also apply to Switzerland.
If you are a non-EEA national subject to immigration control, you can only be considered ordinarily
resident if you have been given the immigration status of indefinite leave to remain (the right to live
here on a permanent basis).
However, if you are a family member of an EEA national who is resident in the UK, you may not be
subject to immigration control, even though you yourself are from outside the EEA. For more
information about applying to join family living permanently in the UK, visit GOV.UK.
If you are coming to the UK on a temporary stay of more than six months, you may be required to
pay an immigration health surcharge at the time of your visa application. The standard surcharge fee
is:
•£150 per year per person for students and each of their dependents
•£200 per year per person for everyone else
The full amount will be paid upfront for the duration of your visa. There are circumstances when you
do not have to pay the surcharge such as if you are the dependant of a member of the forces who is
not subject to immigration control. You can find full details about healthcare surcharges, including
exemptions on the GOV.UK website.
If you have paid the surcharge or you were exempt from paying it, and your visa allows you to be
here for more than six months, you will be entitled to free NHS hospital treatment in England on the
same basis as an ordinarily resident person. This will apply from the date your visa is granted until it
expires.
However, if your visa is curtailed or ended earlier than planned by the Home Office, you will become
chargeable for any further NHS hospital treatment from that date on, even if you have paid the
surcharge. You will also be charged for any non-exempt treatment you received before the start
date of your visa.
If you apply for an extension of your visa, you might also have to pay a further surcharge. If you
apply for, and are granted, indefinite leave to remain, you will not have to pay the surcharge.
Paying the surcharge only gives you access to services the NHS provides. Paying the surcharge does
not mean you are treated faster. Doctors will assess the urgency of your condition in the same way
as ordinarily resident patients are assessed, and if necessary will be placed on a waiting list.
Patients in England are required to make contributions towards the cost of their NHS care, such as
paying prescription costs or dental charges. You are required to make the same contributions. Read
the section about paying NHS charges for more advice.
Note: If you are coming to England for six months or less or did not pay the surcharge when you
were required to, you will be charged for certain NHS services unless an exemption applies.
