Welcome to Castle Garden School
Castle Garden School provides specialist, nurturing and ambitious education for autistic children and young people aged 5–18, including those with additional and complex needs.
Across our two sites, Castle Garden and Castle Gate, we provide a supportive environment where every child and young person is understood as an individual. Their strengths are recognised, and they are encouraged to discover what they can achieve. we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Although every student’s pathway is individual, our shared ambition is for every child and young person to leave Castle Garden School happy, confident and equipped with the skills, knowledge and self-belief to take their next steps towards a fulfilling life, with the independence and support that is right for them.

Together, our two sites share one vision: to provide meaningful opportunities for every child and young person to learn, grow and thrive.
