Our intent is to provide a specialist provision for 120 pupils between Year 3 and Y11 with high functioning Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) as their primary need, with a focus on girls.  The school will be available for pupils with an EHCP who live in Ivybridge and the surrounding areas.

Pupils’ EHC Plans will guide and inform provision; pupils will benefit from smaller than average class sizes and higher than average levels of skilled adult support. The staff team will have the necessary knowledge and understanding of pupil needs to be able to skilfully deliver EHCP outcomes. Effective partnership working with parents and other professionals will be essential in ensuring all pupils benefit from an equality of opportunity in the education they receive. In this way the Castlebridge will offer a unique local provision designed to meet a clearly identified need aimed at bringing positive outcomes, opportunities and benefits for such pupils and their families. The Free School will ensure that pupils are empowered to feel valued and part of their local community.
