Our Independent School provides a unique environment of high-quality, evidence-informed education, nurturing and care to young people with autism aged 4-19 whom may have additional learning difficulties and behaviours that challenge. We offer a comprehensive programme of support that ensures that all of our pupils' individual needs are met through highly personalised learning.
We are privileged to benefit from a truly wonderful location. Our school is housed in stunning Grade II* listed buildings, part of historic Abbey Square in the heart of the beautiful city of Chester.
Our fantastic team of architects have designed us a well-equipped and high-tech learning environment whilst maintaining the beauty of the buildings and surroundings for our pupils to enjoy. We make full use of our environment and location with a creatively designed curriculum that includes focused learning and enrichment activities that support wellbeing.
This enables all of our young people to experience growth, development and success along with community presence and inclusion.
