Durants School is a maintained special school that currently caters for 189 pupils, (over three sites Pitfield Way, Southgate and a provision at Winchmore School) from the aged between 11-19. We are a secondary autism specific provision in the borough of Enfield. In conjunction with Enfield Local Authority, the school has developed a brand new site in Southgate.
We have also redeveloped our school site at Pitfield Way. Both sites are state of the art autism provision with facilities such as a rebound therapy room, sensory integration room, life skills and creative art rooms. At Durants we are proud to be working with our young people and their families.
Our passion is to ensure that all the pupils attending Durants are supported to manage themselves, be resilient as well as achieve academically to the best of their ability.
