Gretton School welcomes autistic children and young people aged from 5-19 years old, as weekly boarders or as day learners. Every learner at Gretton has a diagnosis of autism and every learner is different.
As autism specialists, we understand that consistent daily routines and staffing helps to keep anxiety at a minimum and ensures that our learners feel safe and confident in their surroundings.
We have a high staff to learner ratio and classes are small and personal - we know each of our learners really well and employ the best strategies to support them in their everyday school life.
A broad curriculum, an emphasis on holistic development, and the development of life and social skills, means that we are able to bring out the best in all our learners, and to provide them with opportunities to flourish.
At whatever stage your child joins Gretton, we will ensure they are happy and prepared to make the most of the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life.
"The head of care has been incredible. I had lost faith in education. My child had been out of school for four years and now attends every day." (Parent) Outstanding Ofsted, January 2025
