Howard's House School is a specialist independent school dedicated to providing a safe and secure environment for children so we can support them to develop as individuals.

We provide placements for children who are Autistic (or on the pathway) or have SEMH but related to anxiety and Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA). Please note we do not accept placements of pupils who exhibit aggressive or highly dysregulated behaviours due to their unintended impact on their peers.

The school is currently going through the registration process with Ofsted and planning. We plan to open in September 2026.

We offer a fully integrated approach between education and therapy based on researched and proven strategies which have been very successful in our sister school – Stone Lodge Therapeutic School. To find out more about Stone Lodge please go to www.stonelodgetherapeuticschool.co.uk

Through our ethos of care, understanding and ambition we believe we can help the children re-engage in education, build their confidence and resilience and make the successful transition into adult life. Please explore our website to find out more.

We are in the process of recruiting a highly experienced team of qualified teachers, therapists and family support staff – if you are interested in applying please keep checking the vacancies – most will be advertised after Easter. We are especially interested in staff who live locally due to our emphasis on community.
