The Caldecott School, Station Road, Smeeth, Ashford, Kent, TN25 6PW The Caldecott School is a non-maintained, special school supporting young people with a wide range of special educational needs which include: Autism, social, emotional and mental health needs (Semh), language and communication needs, sensory processing needs, trauma, Opposition Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (Fasd).
In December 2024, Caldecott School maintained the Autism Accreditation from the National Autistic Society. We are able to work with pupils from Year 1 to Year 11. The Primary and Secondary School are based in separate buildings and we also have a satellite classroom based offsite in Ashford.
Governors, senior leaders and all staff teams work tirelessly to provide a safe, stimulating and nurturing learning environment which allows the pupils achieve their full potential. In helping children build a future, we are committed to developing support networks and strategies that young people will require today.
