The perfect opportunity to see Gretton School and learn how we can help your child thrive in education. Please note this open morning takes place during the school holidays and is aimed at parents/carers of children interested in Y3 – Y9.
Exceptional and highly specialised. The entire school is specifically designed for neurodivergent children and young people with a primary diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), alongside related speech, language, or sensory processing differences. The school operates a fully integrated Multi-Disciplinary Team (including Speech & Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Clinical Psychologists, Art Therapists, and Drama Therapists).
Applicants must have a primary diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and typically hold an active Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). Academically, learners are generally of average or above cognitive ability (no more than 2 years below their chronological age expected level). Admission requires a formal review of paperwork by the admissions panel, followed by a successful student interview and transition taster trial.
Operates a rolling admissions system throughout the academic year. Places are highly competitive and dependent entirely on physical seat and cohort compatibility availability within specific year groups. Local Authority consultations take place continuously.
Consistently rated ‘Good’ with ‘Outstanding’ features by Ofsted. Highly celebrated for its transformative, empathetic approach to autism education, holding the national FSA Recognised Forest School Provider status and the Artsmark Award.
Focuses heavily on successful Transitions into Adulthood (PfA). Leavers routinely secure placements at specialist further education colleges, mainstream local colleges, supported apprenticeships, independent employment, or targeted university courses.
