Message from Stu Evans - Headteacher
Welcome to Oscott Manor School. Ours is a vibrant “can-do” community special school providing education for autistic children and young people aged between 11 and 19.
We pride ourselves on our positive culture; this is a school where respect is role modelled by all staff. The result is a safe and respectful school where pupils are listened to and encouraged to express their wishes and feelings. We are proud to promote and uphold the universal rights of every child and to have achieved gold UNICEF rights respecting school status.
Our curriculum is creative, ambitious and broad and aims to develop the strengths and interests of our pupils as well as enabling independence and leading pupils towards future employability. In the U.K., only 16% of autistic adults are in full-time employment and we intend to improve upon this statistic for our cohort. We seek to provide our pupils with a combination of class based learning and real life experiences and skills that will help them to prepare for the demands of future employment; supported or independent. This includes offering accessible and inclusive employability and vocational options on and off site for all of our KS4 and KS5 pupils.
At Oscott Manor School, working in close partnership with parents and families is a crucial element of our work. Every pupil has a named key-worker who is the first point of contact between home and school and who can offer individual intervention and support where needed.
The 2023-24 academic year is an exciting time for our school community. We are building on the successful transition to a brand new school in January 2022 and have now opened a sixth form centre in nearby Ryland Road. Our curriculum has been developed to further support progression of our pupils For stability, many of our school features remain the same such as the logo, the uniform, the rules and the pupil designed safe spaces. This has helped us to maintain stability, consistency and predictability for our pupils.
Please get in touch via the contact us page if you have any queries.
