The Sybil Elgar School provides a range of services for children and young people with autism.
We are an independent special school, owned and run by The National Autistic Society and monitored by Ofsted.
We have three sites in west London which offer secondary school provision for ages 11 to 16, further education provision for ages 16 to 19, and weekly boarding and short break provision for ages 11 to 19.
We are committed to providing the very highest quality of care and education for young people with autism. We have an international reputation for being leaders in the education of young people with autism and work closely with our colleagues in The National Autistic Society.
We are known for being an innovative and progressive school and are always looking for fresh, new approaches. This makes our school an exciting and dynamic place for our young people on their pathway to adulthood.
We understand that your child’s safety, care and happiness are of paramount importance to you. We have extremely robust safeguarding procedures and practices in place. Everything we do is centred around our students. We provide a nurturing and high quality environment making sure that they feel safe and cared for. We are committed to the Every Child Matters strategy. We believe in and champion the rights of every child in our school to be healthy, safe and happy and to achieve and make a positive contribution.
Our curriculum is enriched by a diverse range of trips, activities and events enjoyed by the whole school. The culmination of our school year is our annual gathering of all our students and families, both past and present, to celebrate and share achievements at our summer social and graduation ceremony. The afternoon is full of joy as families and staff take pleasure in being together in a friendly and accepting environment.
