About

We are a small and friendly independent special school for learners aged 4 11 years who have Autism, additional learning difficulties and complex needs. At Claystone School we recognise and value learners for their unique strengths and their contribution to our school community.

We ensure that by following rigorous assessment we provide each child with an Autism friendly environment, an appropriate curriculum and Autism specific interventions to meet their needs and equip them for adult life. Learners at Claystone School are unique, in that they join our school with a wide scope of needs which require a very different and bespoke approach.

We focus on S ocial communication and interaction, encouraging students to T hink differently. We provide O pportunities for meaningful learning, N urturing curiosity, that leads to E ndless possibilities for every child. Our ethos is simple.

By creating meaningful and engaging experiences where our children and young people can learn through exposure, exploration and enquiry, we show that 'Embracing Difference leads to Endless Possibilities'.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
