About Our School

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 proud to be a part of OFG Education who in 2025 were officially certified as a ‘Great Place to Work’ for the sixth year running.
