About this school
ESF Jockey Club Sarah Roe School (JCSRS) is an English-medium school of the English Schools Foundation for students aged 5 to 19 with a wide range of learning needs. It opened in 1985 with six students and two classrooms and is named after a local occupational therapist who helped establish special educational provision for Hong Kong's English-speaking community. It was recognised as a school by the Education Bureau in 1994 and moved into its own building in 1996, funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, later growing to around 70 students.
Every student receives additional learning support. The curriculum is personalised and progressive, with repeated hands-on experiences, and is organised around:
- Curriculum pathways adapted to each learner
- Vocational learning in the secondary years, covering independent living, communication, job skills and career planning, with job coaching
- A therapy team working with teachers and support staff
The school has eight classrooms and specialist rooms including a hydrotherapy pool, a soft playroom and a sensory integration room. It shares a campus with ESF King George V School, and students join inclusive programmes with other ESF schools.
