The Woodlands School is a school for children and young people with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or a Social Communication difficulty, from the age of 4 to 19. 

All children admitted to the school must possess an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), which outlines their specific needs and challenges. We welcome applications from children and young people at any stage of their educational journey, recognising that each path is unique.

As a special school tailored for individuals with Autism and associated learning difficulties, our curriculum is meticulously crafted to address the primary needs of those on the Autism Spectrum. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and nurturing environment where students can flourish academically and socially.

It is important to note that The Woodlands School is not equipped to accommodate students whose primary needs stem from Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties or where severe learning difficulties is the primary need, even though there is also a diagnosis of Autism. Furthermore, we do not offer GCSE qualifications nor do we provide a fully sensory-based curriculum, as our focus remains squarely on meeting the diverse needs of our students within the parameters of Autism. 

We are part of the Aspire Federation, Milton Keynes. For more information about the Federation click here.
