TreeHouse School is a happy and vibrant community where autistic children and young people learn and flourish. Currently, we have 100 pupils on roll aged from infants to sixth formers.

TreeHouse School provides children with the specialist, intensive and integrated support to enable them to learn, thrive and achieve.

All pupils have a diagnosis of autism and have TreeHouse School named in their Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan. The school was inspected by Ofsted in 2017 and found to be outstanding in all areas.

TreeHouse School is registered with the Department for Education as a non-maintained special school. The school was founded in 1997 by a group of parents of autistic children.

There are 160+ members of staff at the TreeHouse School including qualified teachers, behaviour professionals, speech and language therapists, and occupational therapists.

TreeHouse School is a proud member of the Anti-Bullying Alliance. 

Our core beliefs and values provide the foundation for our approach to service delivery. We believe that early diagnosis and intervention is critical to giving all autistic children the best start in life. Effective education has the power to transform their lives and help them reach their potential and to raise expectations for their future.

We are committed to providing high-quality, specialist teaching, learning and support to improve the life chances of those we work with. We believe that the views and choices of children and young people should shape services and because those choices will vary it is essential that a range of educational provision is available.

We also recognise the vital role that parents and carers play in supporting young people to make decisions about their future lives. We are committed therefore to ensuring that we work closely with autistic young people and their families.

Our values are reflected by our commitment to education services which:

focus on the best possible outcomes for children, young people, and their families, based on their aspirations and priorities

adopt a person-centred approach which ensures that the voice of the young person is at the centre of all we do

provide outstanding teaching, learning, and support through a behavioural approach

ensure high-quality provision through practice that is reflective and evidence-based

work in the best interests of the individual and their family through an effective multidisciplinary approach

secure better life chances for autistic children and young people by developing partnerships that support effective transition and a range of appropriate pathways into adulthood.
