About Baskerville School
Where Every Student Shines - Celebrating Autism, Inspiring Futures

At Baskerville School, we're passionate about unlocking the incredible potential of every one of our 188 amazing students aged 11-19. We believe that autism isn't something to overcome – it's a unique way of experiencing the world that brings incredible strengths, talents, and perspectives to our vibrant school community. Our dedicated team doesn't just teach; we celebrate, nurture, and champion each student's journey toward an exciting and fulfilling future.

We're thrilled about our upcoming move to our stunning, purpose-built campus at the Baskerville Site in September 2025, which will bring all our key stages together under one roof. Currently, our students enjoy learning across multiple sites: the Baskerville Site for Key Stage 3, Windsor Academy hosting Key Stages 3-5, and our fantastic specialised provision at Bournville College for Key Stage 5 students. Each year, we welcome approximately 14 new students into our main school family, with our Discovery Department specially designed for students with autism and additional learning needs.

Our educational approach puts each child at the heart of everything we do, offering individualised programs that celebrate each student's unique strengths and interests. Every student receives carefully crafted support through integrated therapeutic services, Total Communication approaches, and small, nurturing class groups with exceptional 1:3 support ratios. Our vibrant, innovative curriculum is themed and engaging, connecting learning to real interests and passions while continuously evolving to match our students' goals and building genuine confidence and self-belief.

We're committed to preparing every student for amazing futures through meaningful work experiences, community adventures, independent living skills, and personal development opportunities. Our students don't just learn subjects – they develop life skills through hands-on, meaningful experiences that prepare them to step confidently into their futures with independence, confidence, and joy. At Baskerville School, we don't just educate – we inspire, celebrate, and empower young people who are ready to make their unique mark on the world.
