Welcome from the Head
Whatley Campus is a specialist school for students with autism aged 9–16. Our primary aim is to provide a safe, nurturing and structured environment where every student is supported to thrive and reach their full potential.
We offer a bespoke education tailored to each student’s individual strengths and needs within a calm and supportive setting. Our therapeutic and academic curriculum is rooted in neurodiversity-affirming practice, valuing every student’s individuality while helping them develop the skills they need for life beyond school. We support young people to grow in confidence, independence and resilience as they prepare for adulthood, including developing an understanding of future career pathways, gaining practical life skills and accessing opportunities that help them build experience of the wider world.
All students benefit from small class sizes and a high adult-to-student ratio. Our highly trained teachers and teaching assistants work alongside on-site therapeutic professionals as part of a dedicated and nurturing staff team.
We provide a range of curriculum pathways, ensuring that student wellbeing, engagement and progress remain at the heart of everything we do.
We are extremely proud of our students, our staff and our wider school community, and we warmly invite you to visit Whatley Campus to experience our school for yourself.
