Vision, mission and values
A positive school for autistic children
When your child comes to Thames Valley School, they will be surrounded by children and adults who understand autism, and who celebrate them for who they are. They will be taught and supported by knowledgeable, committed and experienced people who believe fully in their potential.
Our vision
Our school’s vision is for every autistic child to have the same opportunities to learn as other children.
Our mission
We want every child who comes to Thames Valley School to live a fulfilling life, and to thrive academically and personally.
Our high quality, specialist provision will give every child at Thames Valley School access to an effective and suitable education.
We will help students develop a solid foundation of skills so that they can play their part in society and prepare for further study, university and employment.
We seek to excite our students about school and learning by delivering a broad, flexible and challenging curriculum with inspiring learning opportunities.
Your child will gain the skills they need to learn well, understand their own challenges, and develop tool kits to help them through life, especially in times of change.
Your child’s learning will be truly personalised. It will build on their strengths and remove the barriers that prevent them from learning.
Our values
We believe that every person with autism should be able to live the life they choose.
To do this, they need access to a good quality education. Education is vital for making informed choices, seizing opportunities and being successful.
Every person with autism has the right to a good quality education.
