Welcome to Churchward School Recognising Strengths - Gaining Skills - Achieving Success

Churchward School is built on the foundations of “Recognising strengths, gaining skills, achieving success”, something which runs through everything we do and I am extremely excited about the role this school will play in supporting our students to reach their full potential.

The school was approved by the Department of Education in 2016 and opened its doors in September 2018 to provide secondary and sixth form places for students with autism and associated social communication difficulties.

All Churchward School staff are committed to enabling our students to overcome their challenges through supporting their emotional regulation, social interaction and their academic and vocational learning. This is achieved through bespoke curriculum and therapeutic packages designed around each student as an individual.
