Linkway House School is a purpose built school, set in the grounds of Linkway House Residential Children's Home. It has beautiful gardens and play areas. All pupils of Linkway House School have access to a calm consistent approach to meet their very special individual needs, and address their diagnosis, with communication being a key factor. We believe that an open honest partnership with parents and other professionals is essential to achieve our goals. Linkway House School aims to help all pupils to reach their full potential by reducing the negative effects of ASD in an environment that offers warmth, security consistency and understanding. In order to achieve this we offer a structured broad balanced curriculum. We aim to provide experiences and teach skills that will enable our pupils to develop as much independence as possible, and prepare them to live happily within the community.

SCHOOL AIMS AND VALUES
Our head teacher, and staff at Linkway House School have developed our aims and values to raise standards by:
