Welcome to Castle Garden School
Castle Garden School provides a specialist, nurturing and ambitious education for children and young people aged 5-18 with autism and a range of additional and complex needs.
Across our Castle Garden and Castle Gate sites, we take time to understand every pupil as an individual, recognising their strengths, needs and aspirations. Our personalised approach combines education and therapeutic support to help pupils overcome barriers, build confidence and make meaningful progress from their own starting points.
We look beyond academic achievement, supporting communication, emotional regulation, relationships, independence and a strong sense of belonging. Through positive relationships and close partnerships with families, we create a safe and supportive environment where every pupil can feel understood, valued and encouraged to discover what they can achieve.
Our ambition is for every young person to leave Castle Garden happy, confident and equipped with the skills, knowledge and self-belief they need for their individual next steps.
