The Garden is in the London Borough of Hackney offering education for 4-18 year-olds with highly specialised provisions for learners with autism. We believe that every child should be recognised and respected as unique and special. We place each child's individual needs and goals at the centre of our work.
It is this ethos that underpins our bespoke child-centred curriculum specially developed to create optimal opportunities to nurture communication, learning, and independence, in a safe and inclusive environment. The Garden school sits across two sites. The Pavilion site caters for Key Stage 4 and 5 pupils. For further information please see The Pavilion tab.
