The school mission is to enable the self. The school's passion for celebrating neuro-diversity and championing this in the wider community is evident in their strong school ethos and values.
The Cavendish School provides a unique educational environment that young people with autism need to thrive and succeed when their needs cannot be met in a mainstream school. They provide a safe and nurturing environment in which students can enjoy learning, achieve their potential and develop the key skills they need to thrive as independent, emotionally and socially confident young adults.
Their curriculum and teaching methodology supports each individual student, through a range of dedicated programmes that build on their skills and allow them to achieve, make progress and experience success. In order to achieve their mission the school is educating the whole child with a curriculum equally balanced with the holistic and academic needs of the pupils.
They are working with the International Baccalaureate (IB) on a project of inclusion with global impact. Within this project they are one of a trio of specialists working on bringing this aspirational and prestigious curriculum to special schools around the world. As a strategic partner they aim to be an outstanding and inspiring learning community that is truly inclusive, innovative, impactful and international.
