School Description

The school was opened in September 2015 by a group of parents of children who have autistic spectrum disorder. In agreement with the local authority, the school occupies the site of a previous primary school. This arrangement is temporary. There are currently 59 pupils on roll aged from four to 16 years. All pupils are supported by an education, health and care plan and all have a diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorder. The majority of pupils are boys. The school works with nine placing local authorities although the majority of pupils are placed by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. The school has well-developed plans in place to secure a permanent site. It is anticipated that the school will relocate in September 2020. The school is registered as a special free school for 96 pupils aged four to 16 who have autistic spectrum disorder. When the school secures a permanent site, the school will be able to cater for more pupils than are currently on roll. There is a waiting list for Inspection report: Forest Bridge School, 13–14 June 2018 Page 10 of 13 places. Currently, the school has one child in the early years. Consequently, the early years has not been reported on separately. The proportion of pupils who are eligible for pupil premium funding is below average. The school uses an alternative placement, Haybrook College. The majority of pupils are White British.
