Sutherland House School is one of the specialist services provided by Autism East Midlands. It is a non-maintained special school for 94 autistic students aged 3-19 years. We have provided a specialist education for autistic children and young people since 1968.

The school is located in purpose-developed facilities in central Nottingham. Students attend our school from within a daily commutable distance covering the local authorities of Nottinghamshire, Nottingham City, Derbyshire, Derby City, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Leicester City, Rutland, Doncaster and South Yorkshire.

We are structured into lower, middle and upper schools to provide age appropriate education across the foundation stage, key stages 1,2,3,4 and post 16.

I am extremely proud to be the Head Teacher of Sutherland House School.

We provide an individualised and person centred curriculum for all of our pupils. The experienced, talented and dedicated staff support each student using Positive Behaviour Support methods; this is integral to every part of school life and is tailored individually to the diverse needs of each pupil.

Here at Sutherland House School, we are pleased to offer a broad and balanced curriculum for pupils with a diagnosis of Autism. We provide a tailored, structured and meaningful learning experience for all abilities. Our varying aspects of assessment ensure personalised outcomes for each student; which includes academic progress, life skills, developing independence and preparing for adulthood.

We are privileged as a school to work in collaboration with a specialist Clinical Team including: Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Psychology. This allows us to work with each individual in a holistic and person centred approach.

I welcome you to book a visit and see for yourselves how we value and care for our pupils; appointments and further information can be discussed with our friendly administration team.

I look forward to meeting you soon.

Kind regards,

Ann Stewart

Sutherland House School is unique in many ways. We understand that the needs of every child are unique and we work closely with parents, carers and families to create a holistic educational package that meets those needs of every child.

Our Multi-disciplinary Support Teams include Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Psychologists. These teams all work closely with experienced teachers and teaching assistants to create a personalised pathway that caters for the needs of the individual student.

Our students enjoy a fantastic environment in a bright, open building with direct access to the local facilities and amenities.

We provide extremely well equipped sensory rooms, extensive training facilities, break-out teaching pods and specialised teaching areas.

We aspire to educate both academically and personally all students and our ambition is always to ensure young people have the skills to be as independent in their futures as possible
