At Tilewood, our ethos is built on three simple but powerful principles: Belong, Thrive and Aspire. We believe that children learn best when they feel safe, connected and understood. We recognise that regulation, communication, wellbeing and happiness are not rewards for learning but the foundations that make learning possible. Above all, we believe that no child's future should be defined by their diagnosis, and we are committed to helping every student develop the confidence, independence and skills needed to achieve their fullest potential. As one of our founding teachers, you will play a vital role in creating a calm, nurturing and ambitious school community where relationships come first, strengths are celebrated and every success matters.

Tilewood School is an exciting new specialist provision within the Options Autism family, provisionally opening in April 2027. Located at the historic Tile House in rural Buckinghamshire, the school will provide education for up to 66 students aged 5 to 16 with autism and associated needs. What makes Tilewood truly special is its environment. Set within extensive natural grounds, the school benefits from woodland, open green spaces, outdoor learning areas, a sports dome, all-weather sports facilities and dedicated life skills environments. We view our grounds as an extension of the classroom, offering meaningful opportunities for outdoor learning, exploration, sensory regulation, independence and personal growth throughout the year. Planned developments include sensory, horticultural and independence gardens that will further enrich the learning experience for our students. For many autistic children, space, nature, quiet and the opportunity to learn beyond four walls are not simply desirable, they are essential. At Tilewood, we have created an environment where these elements are woven into daily life, supporting children to belong, thrive and aspire.

We are really proud to say that in 2025 Outcomes First Group were officially certified as a 'Great Place to Work' for the sixth year running.
