The Quest School was founded in September 2003 to provide a specialist school for pupils with autism. Children and young people with autism have specific and distinct needs, and they and their families deserve an education that is right for them.
At Quest School, the pupils always come first and we strive to help them reach their full potential, to maximise their opportunities to access and integrate into mainstream community life to the greatest possible extent, for the benefit of themselves and their families.
The Quest School is committed to providing a fully inclusive environment, which recognises and meets diversity of need. Each pupil is valued as being special and unique, with their own rich mix of abilities, strengths and talents. Whilst recognising that they all have difficulties to overcome, we are committed to enabling them to get the most out of life.
We create a positive, caring environment, where self esteem is high and the children are happy, stimulated and motivated to learn. We set high expectations for ourselves and our pupils, always promoting personal growth and responsibility.
