We are a short to long term provision for 40 learners who are on the autistic spectrum or who have other special educational needs and challenging behaviour. We cater for young people aged between 7 and 19.

We aim to offer flexible, structured and supportive needs led approaches with the goal of working towards re-integration progression to a long term educational setting or into employment, education and training.
