Notes

Inscape House School is based at Cheadle, Stockport.  It is part of the Together Trust charity, a leading specialist education, community and care provider offering opportunities to students throughout the UK.


In recent years, the school redeveloped its Cheadle campus to bring together many of its autism services. The first phase was completed in summer 2012 and allowed our post-16 students to move into purpose-built accommodation at the beginning of the 2012/13 academic year.  We completed phase 2 of the development in summer 2013.  This includes our new resource centre offering training and support activities for parents.


We are a centre of excellence for autism spectrum conditions.  We provide a safe, calm and enjoyable environment for young people with autism spectrum conditions (ASC), so that they can forge for themselves a happier, more independent future.

Inscape House School meets the needs of children and young people, aged 5 to 19 years, with autism spectrum conditions and related social communication difficulties.
Admissions do not depend upon a diagnosis of an autism spectrum condition but upon a common pattern of special educational needs. 

We welcome contact from parents and professionals who are seeking places for young people at the school, as it gives us the opportunity to explain more about ourselves and to answer any questions that you may have.

Before a pupil starts at Inscape House School, we carry out initial assessments. This is done by talking with parents/carers and the pupil, when possible, as well as speaking to other professionals who work with the young person. This way we can prioritise the support that will be needed for developing robust, effective transition arrangements. Pupils undergo comprehensive assessments that look at the child as whole. A multidisciplinary team is involved with this, including teachers, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, educational psychology and positive behaviour support specialists.

We offer:
A broad curriculum with an emphasis on the development of social, communication and independence skills
Structure and specialism in the teaching approaches adopted
Consistency and continuity within and between Key Stages
Work carried out in small groups with a high staff-to-student ratio and/or individual personalised programmes.
