OUR COMMITMENT


We focus on the individual, identifying opportunities for academic, social and workplace development that help our students reach their potential. Our support extends to the student’s parents ensuring they too are involved at every step.


A focus on the person


Our approach removes barriers to school, enabling each person to access an education that creates future opportunities.


Charlie, 18, was a non-attender at his previous school, oſten only interacting through written messages. Our support empowered him to express himself, while smaller exam settings and relaxation techniques meant he could control his anxiety and sit his exams.


Creating a learning environment


The social aspects of autism can affect attendance, and impact on how students interact with their peers, teachers and the building itself.


Craig, 15, missed years 7-9 as his mainstream school struggled to offer the support he needed. With help from our therapy teams he’s now thriving at Oxford, recently becoming Deputy Head Boy and representing the school externally while working towards a Business Studies BTEC.


Beyond an education


We look at how we can help each student progress into the workplace. Weekly work experience placements create independence and develop confidence.


Amy, 16, spent a day a week at Hair Essentials in Sussex. A busy, noisy, salon can be a difficult environment, but over time she has developed both work and personal skills, overcoming those barriers to becoming a hairdresser.
