Welcome to The Robert Ogden School

Hello and welcome to Robert Ogden School, where we have been teaching and caring for autistic children and young people since 1977.At Robert Ogden School we provide a caring and friendly environment where your child will be safe and supported. We have a very dedicated staff team who are specialists in working with autistic young people. Within our Inclusive Learning Hub we also have a highly skilled group of staff who work with those pupils who may have very complex needs and who require a non-confrontational and non-directive approach. These pupils follow a totally individualised curriculum.Our school buildings are large and bright. Our spaces are low arousal and we have highly trained staff who are responsive to the needs of each individual pupil.As well as taking great pride in the academic achievements of our pupils, we are also very committed to making sure they are emotionally secure and confident. We place a great emphasis on preparing our pupils for adulthood and strive to give them portable skills which will be useful in their leisure pursuits and, for some, in employment.Everyone who visits our school tells us how friendly the atmosphere is. Do come and visit us. We are confident that you and your child will both feel relaxed and at home here.Warm wishes,Jon MountPrincipal
