About the school

This placement is in a unique and forward-thinking secondary school in  West London, designed specifically for pupils with autism spectrum conditions. The school offers a safe, structured, and nurturing learning environment, where pupils aged 11–18 are supported through highly individualised teaching and therapy-led support.

With a strong focus on preparing young people for life beyond school, the curriculum includes a wide range of academic and vocational subjects alongside life skills, social development, and career guidance. The school promotes values such as respect, perseverance, curiosity, and independence, and has a reputation for fostering confidence and achievement in students who may not thrive in mainstream settings.
