• A belief in relationship‑led practice and educating the whole child

Fieldstone School is an independent day school, supporting the most vulnerable young people in society aged 5‑16; those children who do not find it easy to fit into existing educational provision. This can be for many reasons, including a range of behavioural, emotional and educational challenges, exacerbated by being on the autistic spectrum. Other difficulties such as sensory processing disorders, attachment disorders or those having faced trauma in their lives.

It is our intention that every student will achieve their full potential in both academic and personal development. As a day school, we provide an alternative to residential education which supports our students to develop independence and social skills whilst living in their home environment. We are part of Acorn Education and can offer plenty of challenges along with a wide range of opportunities to develop your career.
