About

Baskerville is a specialist school where children and young people with autism are understood, valued and supported to achieve their very best. Everything we do is rooted in a simple principle — children come first. Our skilled and dedicated team work together to provide learning that is personalised, meaningful and ambitious.

We take time to know each pupil as an individual — their strengths, needs and aspirations — so that learning builds confidence, independence and the skills needed for life beyond school. Guided by our values, we make thoughtful decisions that balance care, challenge and high expectations.

We believe that the best outcomes for pupils come from strong teamwork, close partnership with families and a relentless focus on what is right for each child. I am proud to lead a community that is inclusive, people-centred and committed to helping every pupil thrive. I warmly invite you to visit Baskerville School and see our supportive environment and learning in action.'
