Silverways School provides specialist support for children with autism and associated learning needs in an environment designed to best meet their learning requirements. Our nurturing school supports up to 50 children aged between seven and 16 in small classes where learning and the curriculum is determined by individual needs.

We specialise in helping children who have found mainstream education challenging, and in some circumstances traumatic. Some children will have been out of education or have significant gaps in their attendance before joining Silverways.

At Silverways we help children re-engage with education by providing a safe, low arousal environment and a team of outstanding teachers and support staff with a proven track record of successfully teaching children who struggle to cope in school.

Our carefully designed school has been created to accommodate specific sensory needs and create the best setting for children to learn and succeed.

The specially-designed school offers a safe learning environment for children living with autism. Children experiencing challenges will thrive in the school which takes a bespoke approach to teaching. The team creates personalised, creative curriculums which are tailored for each child’s needs and interests and have the experience, skills and qualifications needed provide the very best care and support for vulnerable children.

What makes us unique?

Headteacher Jeanette said: “At Silverways we value the holistic development of the child. Our aim is not only to educate, but also to develop the children’s social skills, self-confidence, character and resilience.
