Our learners require support with social and pragmatic communication needs associated with autism spectrum..

The school aims to provide a differentiated curruculum for its pupils and to cater for individual needs within a caring and supportive environment. It provides a highly structured and predictable routine, together with a flexible approach to help pupils cope with the organisation and complexities of school.
