At our school we look beyond autism to the individual needs of every pupil and we put these needs first.
We are a friendly, approachable school. Our staff are caring professionals and also demonstrate many of the characteristics of good parents.
Confidence in a school comes from knowing and understanding how it works. We hope you will find out about us through regular visits and contact with me and members of staff and take advantage of the many opportunities for consultation and more informal social occasions.
Radlett Lodge is a very successful school and our Ofsted inspection in December 2009 highlighted several outstanding strengths, including the quality of teaching and assessment, spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, care of pupils and the quality of our relationships.
We recognise that many of our pupils have very special needs but believe that compassion, tolerance and positive intervention can bring about positive change.
