The school shares the National Autistic Societies organisational values:

We learn from real experience.

We’ve spent over 50 years working together with people on the autism spectrum. No one has more practical knowledge of autism. But we move with the times and we understand that there’s always more to learn.

We tell it like it is.

We share what we have learned about autism, so that more people can make informed decisions and lead the best lives possible.

We inspire.

We celebrate progress, open up new possibilities, spur people into action and motivate change.

We are courageous.

We won’t accept ignorance or inequality, and we’ll never stop pushing for more understanding, greater support and a better world for people on the autism spectrum.

"The minute I walked in I thought, this is where my daughter fits in. There’s been a huge change in her over the years. I’d love her to stay until she’s 19. An autism-based provision like this really works. The staff are dedicated and passionate and very knowledgeable. There are a lot more resources here, and the staff have more time to spend with your child."
