About the School

We're delighted to be partnering with a brand-new, purpose-built specialist school in Cricklewood, Brent, which opened its doors in Spring 2025. The school provides a nurturing and inclusive environment for up to 54 students aged 7-16 with Education, Health & Care Plans (EHCPs), primarily presenting with autism and related social communication needs.

The provision has been thoughtfully designed with small class sizes (around six pupils), supported by both a teacher and teaching assistant, ensuring every child receives truly individualised attention. The school offers a calm, low-arousal environment, complete with sensory-friendly spaces and a visual, structured approach to learning.

The curriculum blends academic and creative pathways—combining National Curriculum subjects without door learning, life skills, and community engagement—helping students work towards Unit Awards, Entry Levels, Functional Skills, and GCSEs, while building confidence, independence, and employability.
