About Longdon Park School

Longdon Park School harnesses passions, unlocks ability and realises potential by delivering individualised learning pathways to support pupils and their families. We recognise that children with autism need to be taught in a different way; a way that is individual and relevant to them. To achieve this, we take a holistic approach to learning that wraps therapeutic care and educational support around the individual needs of each child.

"Mixed Feelings"

While our experience at Longdon Park School has been generally positive, there have been some challenges we've faced. The school's approach to education and therapy can be a bit hit-or-miss, and there have been times when we've felt like we're not being fully supported. However, we do appreciate the school's efforts to create a nurturing and engaging environment for our daughter.

"A Life-Changing Experience"

I just wanted to express how grateful we are to have found Longdon Park School for our daughter, Emily. The school's values of being Safe, Happy, Independent, Nurtured, and Engaged have truly made a difference in her life. The facilities are excellent, especially the new Longdon Parkway centre, which has given her a sense of purpose and confidence.

"A Great Starting Point"

My daughter, Hannah, has only recently started at Longdon Park School, but we're already seeing positive changes in her. The school's approach to education and therapy seems to be working for her, and the staff are all very welcoming and supportive. We're looking forward to seeing her continue to thrive at the school.

"Unbelievable Support for Our Son"

We couldn't be more thankful for the support Longdon Park School provided for our son, Alex, during his time there. The staff were always available to offer guidance and advice, and the school's approach to education and therapy was exactly what he needed. We're so proud of the person he's become, and we'll always be grateful to Longdon Park.
