Lavender Lodge School

We are an independent co-educational Day school providing specialised education for children aged 4-12 years who hold statements of Special Educational Needs for Autistic Spectrum Disorders and associated social and communication difficulties.

We aim to be much more than just a school and are unique in our multi-disciplinary approach to working with children with Autistic Specrtum Disorders. We believe we can develop the global needs of our children, not just their education. We value the contribution each child and young person brings to the life of our school. Our aim is to unlock the full potential of each child by striving to create a school day that is motivating, rewarding and purposeful for each individual pupil. We recognise that successful learning is achieved through fun and positive experiences. Our school is a community in which everyone works happily and purposely together

It is our vision that by the end of their time at Lavender Lodge, all our children will have a sense of achievement, raised self esteem and will leave us with a positive attitude to future life and learning.
