Ellie
With her cheeky smile, irrepressible curiosity and keen sporting talent, Ellie is a little girl who is most definitely going places.
Despite suffering from complex health conditions including cerebral palsy, autism and severe epilepsy, 11-year-old Ellie has made amazing progress since becoming a pupil at Chailey Heritage School.
She loves to ride on her favourite horse,Tod, excels in wheelchair sports including boccia, curling and table cricket, and has a fascination for the animals that live at Patchwork Farm.
Watching Ellie interact with her teachers and fellow pupils, it’s hard to believe that she once found the classroom a very daunting place.
Ellie’s mum Liz explains: “A nurse told us about Chailey Heritage Foundation and as soon as we began researching the school, we felt sure it could be the right place for Ellie. On our first visit, we were bowled over by the warm welcome and friendliness of the staff, the wide variety of activities on offer and the fact there was so much medical expertise on-site.
