Get to know The Ribble Autism School

Who we support

We’re a new, independent specialist school just south of Preston for pupils aged 4-11 with severe autism and learning difficulties.

Every child here receives a carefully personalised approach to learning and wellbeing. From small daily wins to life-changing milestones, our focus is always on progress that feels meaningful.

We want our pupils to:

Learn how to manage their behaviour and cope with anxieties
Access a positive educational experience
Develop strategies to manage everyday living
Develop independence, social and communication skills
Become empowered to make their own appropriate choices in life

Our Mission

Our ethos

By creating a school culture that’s positive, supportive and achievement-focused, we empower children to engage with learning and feel proud of their progress.

Our vision

To raise standards in the education of young people with autism to enable them to lead meaningful, fulfilling and happy lives.

Our location

We’re based in a calm, semi-rural setting just south of Preston. The location offers the best of both worlds—quiet surroundings to help children feel safe and settled, with easy access to local communities and resources.

Our environment has been carefully designed to support the sensory and emotional needs of the children we work with.
