Life at The Ribble Autism School for Parents & Carers

We know that when a child joins our school, their whole family is part of the journey. That’s why we keep communication open, expectations clear and support consistent so you always feel informed and involved.

Below, you’ll find practical information about day-to-day life at The Ribble Autism School.

Our school day is structured to support focus, balance and wellbeing:

Monday to Friday: 9am - 3:30pm

These hours help young people manage their energy, build routine and still have time to rest or reflect at the end of the day.

Uniforms are provided in a range of styles to meet each individual young person's sensory needs.

We provide lunch and snacks throughout the day and each menu is tailored to each pupil's preferences.

We pride ourselves on building close relationships with parents and carers. As soon as your child joins, we will agree what level of communication and methods work best for you. We also hold coffee mornings, meetings and annual reviews which give you the opportunity to visit the school, meet our team and discuss your child’s progress. We also use these meetings as an opportunity to celebrate our young people’s achievements and showcase some of the work and activities that they have been involved in.

Words cannot express how grateful we are for the positive influence everyone at The Ribble Autism School has had on my son. Thank you for being a guiding light!
