Welcome to Kingfisher School

Kingfisher-a place where everyone is valued to develop independence through an enriching curriculum which is worthwhile

Kingfisher is a great school and really welcoming as soon as you step through the door. It provides an exciting and well-designed learning environment for a wide variety of learners with additional needs. Our best resource is our dedicated staff. There is a professional partnership here in the school with all colleagues working together to offer the absolute best for our young people.

The school caters for young people aged 2-19, who have severe, complex or profound needs, including autism. Our school is organised into pathways that are designed to meet the particular needs of the children offering them learning programmes building on their individual strengths and celebrating their achievements. There is excellent partnership with the health and social care professionals who work alongside us at Kingfisher.

Our curriculum is designed to support the individual needs of all our pupils.  The driving force and intent behind our curriculum is to develop independence at every opportunity.  

Parents are welcome and their contribution to school life is valued. The school has lots of friends in Abingdon and beyond and is part of the Propeller Academy Trust.  I am delighted to be the Headteacher of this amazing school.
