Inscape House School

At Inscape House School, we break down barriers to learning for children with autism. Based in Cheadle, we support young people from Year 1 to Year 14.

We recognise that every child is different. That's why we create individual learning programmes matched with a core team of therapists. All delivered by our dedicated team and accredited by the National Autistic Society.

At Inscape House School, no two learning programmes are the same, because no two learners are the same. We take a creative and personalised approach so that every student can learn at their level, in a way that suits their needs.

From the curriculum to classroom design, we think about every detail to help our learners thrive and we work with our students to be as flexible and responsive as possible. We know that small adjustments make a big difference.

We approach teaching in a flexible way to meet the needs of our learners. For instance, students might have personal timetables and one-to-one tuition, balanced with group work and activities. Our class sizes are purposefully small – never more than eight students and each group has a teacher and educational assistants who work with the students every day.

Our approach is positive and proactive, never punitive. We support students in understanding their emotions and help them learn coping strategies to handle all kinds of situations.

We shape learning programmes to the student while offering a broad range of subjects from the national curriculum. But it’s not just about academic achievement. We also teach communication, social and life skills. Read more about the curriculum at Inscape House School.

We get to know our students and the things they’re interested in. Those special interests can be a great way to help students with their progress. We’ve found all kinds of ways to engage our students, from gardening and horticulture to falconry and owl therapy.
