    Welcome to Fern House School!

    As Headteacher, it is my privilege to extend a warm welcome to you and your child. Fern House School is a special place, specifically designed for children aged 5-16 with social, emotional, mental health needs and/or social communication needs (Autism). We understand that every child's journey is unique, and here, we don't just recognise individuality – we embrace it.

    We believe every child deserves the opportunity to grow and develop in a safe, nurturing and compassionate environment. Our dedicated team is committed to building strong, trusting relationships that help break down barriers to learning and unlock each child's incredible potential. We work tirelessly to create a space where your child feels understood, valued and empowered to thrive.

    At Fern House, we're passionate advocates for our pupils, ensuring they not only achieve academically but also develop the confidence, resilience and life skills needed to flourish. We look forward to partnering with you on your child's educational journey.
