Castlebridge School caters for pupils from Year 3 to Year 11, with a primary focus on supporting children and young people with autism. Many of our pupils have experienced challenges in mainstream education and may have developed patterns of school or learning avoidance as a way to feel safe.

At Castlebridge School, we believe that connection is key to successful school integration, and we prioritise building strong, trusting relationships to help pupils feel safe, understood and ready to learn.

All pupils at Castlebridge School have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

Our curriculum is carefully tailored to provide a personalised learning experience for every pupil. It is designed to ensure that pupils can access and engage with learning effectively, while developing meaningful skills and achieving appropriate academic accreditation.
