Newbury Manor School is a specialist school for young people aged 7 to 19 who have autistic spectrum disorders (ASD).

We take pride in the environment we can offer. The school is located in a beautiful, quiet, rural location in Somerset in a Georgian manor house, which has a range of outbuildings and extensive grounds.
