Russet House School offers a broad and balanced education for children with autism in a happy, purposeful atmosphere, where everyone counts and every achievement is valued.
The school has been purpose-built and offers superb facilities and resources but the most important resource, however, is the partnership between parents, staff and, of course, children. 

Russet House also runs the Enfield Advisory Service for Autism on behalf of Enfield Council.
