Our training sessions aim to empower individuals and organisations to become more autism confident and work successfully with autistic young people. To achieve this, our team of experts deliver training tailored to meet audience needs and requirements.

Quality of Life describes a person’s physical, social and psychological wellbeing. It draws attention to the accumulated impact of the day-to-day, which is the level to which individuals may feel their lives to be happy, active, sociable, interesting and meaningful.
Our virtual tour gives you the chance to visit us digitally and look at the environment our students work in. Nothing beats a physical visit but this does give you an idea of what school looks like.
Pupil voice in Woodley School and College means a whole-school commitment to listening to the views, wishes and experiences of all children and young people. It means placing value on what children and young people tell school staff about their experiences.
