About

The opportunity to be truly accepted, understood and supported. Welcome to Elmley Dray School. We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved in creating a nurturing and supportive environment for the children and young people we serve.

Elmley Dray School specialises in supporting learners aged 9 to 19 who have a diagnosis of autism or present with autistic traits, alongside challenges with mental health regulation, particularly anxiety.

We also work with learners with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and other co-occurring difficulties, enabling us to provide tailored support to a wide range of children and young people. Our school is designed to feel like a home from home. With no more than 40 learners on roll, we offer small, carefully structured learning groups of up to eight students per class.

For some activities, such as PE and Natural World, groups come together to encourage collaboration and social development. We recognise the importance of meeting each student's sensory and emotional needs. Our setting includes:
