Rosehill School is a maintained special school for 120 pupils aged 4‑19, on the autism spectrum, which is set in a residential area on the outskirts of Nottingham City Centre. The very large majority of pupils attending the school have a diverse range of associated communication, interaction, social, imagination, sensory and learning differences. Many of our pupils have spent time in mainstream settings but move to Rosehill for a more specialised environment and curriculum. Rosehill has been a specialist provider for autistic pupils since 1980. We have a desire to meet growing demand from local communities for educating a broader spectrum of needs and differences. It is proposed to expand Rosehill onto an additional site; the new site would offer an additional 80‑90 school places for CYP with SEND, and an EHC Plan.

The school serves a diverse community, drawing children and young people from a wide range of socio‑economic and multicultural backgrounds. The school has an Early Year’s provision and a Sixth Form. Rosehill School is part of the Nottingham Schools Trust. The school has recently received approval from the local authority for the expansion of Rosehill, to a second site.
