- Baston House School is a specialist provision in education and development for children and young people aged 5 and upwards who have been diagnosed with an Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC). It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to Baston House School, an independent specialist school for children and young people, whose Statement of Special Educational Needs describes their primary need as being on the Autism Spectrum. Our goal is to break down the barriers to learning that our students encounter and to support them by equipping them with the skills needed for an independent life beyond school. We support learners in achieving their full potential by putting learning and well-being at the heart of everything that we do. We promote learning by encouraging: Enquiring and curious minds to research independently Learning in diverse and contemporary fields of interest The learner’s special interest areas and strengths The security and freedom to make mistakes and learn from them….as this is how we all improve! We promote well-being by encouraging learners to: Have fun and be happy Be resilient and use their coping strategies when they are anxious Participate in activities that promote self-esteem and self-confidence. We know that our partnership with parents is a key factor in a young person's success. So, we will work hard to involve parents in every step of a learner’s education and well-being. Our termly celebration days are a testament to our open-door approach to encourage partnerships from parents. We acknowledge that the transition from primary to secondary may be a challenge to most learners. We make the progression from primary to secondary as structured and predictable as possible. The school has embedded opportunities for primary and secondary phase interaction such as integrated lunchtimes and termly performing arts productions. This interaction reduces the anxieties of learners as they progress to secondary as primary children move into an environment where they will be interacting with familiar faces and often, good friends. Our curriculum delivery is supported by a range of prominent visual strategies, including highly structured work-systems predictable changes and phase timings, and engaging and appealing learning environments. Our goal is to break down the barriers to learning that our students encounter and to help them to equip themselves for as independent a life as possible outside of school. Our approach is based on an eclectic fusion of child-centered and autism-specific strategies and techniques, with a clear focus on improving communication and interaction skills through positive interventions.
