Prior's Court School

Prior's Court School is an independent special school for children and young people with complex autism aged from 5 to 20 years.

We have an adult learning provision that takes learning through to 25 and we focus on continuing our goals to support young people in to work.

We support young people on the autism spectrum who have moderate to severe learning difficulties and complex needs. The young people at Prior's Court are non-verbal, pre-verbal or have limited language and are working from the equivalent of lower P levels through to National Curriculum levels 1 and 2. Some have additional diagnoses and exhibit challenging behaviours. We offer day, weekly and termly placements over 38, 44 or 52 weeks of the year.
