Special needs catered for

Tadley Horizon is a co-educational school specialising in the care and education of pupils between the ages of 5 to 19, who are diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum with associated learning difficulties.

Specialist facilities

Within the safe, structured and predictable environment of Tadley Horizon pupils will develop the skills needed to live as independently as possible, so that they are able to enjoy their lives and make real life choices as they reach adulthood. The design of the school, the structure of the educational programmes and residential areas, are created to achieve an autism-friendly environment.

Support services provided

The teaching approach provides physical and visual opportunities for learning and helps pupils to achieve their full potential by understanding their limitations and making the most of their abilities. Managing expectations is a core part of the programme. Pupils have access to a wide range of therapies including: speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, music therapy, play therapy and equine therapies.

Education

Through raising standards in the education of young people with autism, Tadley Horizon aims to help all pupils to lead happy and fulfilling lives. Tadley Horizon adopts a multidisciplinary approach to education and care using the best practice from models such as TEACCH, PECS and active learning programmes. Pupils learn how to develop effective compensatory strategies to overcome their difficulties in social and emotional processing, communication and inflexibility in thinking and behaviour.

Residential care

Tadley Horizon School works hard to establish a close partnership with parents in order to support pupil progression and get the very best out of them in all areas. Parents are kept well informed of their child’s progress and are encouraged to participate in their child’s development programme as much as possible.

Aims and philosophy

Our mission statement is to create a safe and secure environment in which individuals are enabled to achieve their full potential by providing them with diverse learning opportunities. We aim to develop independence for each individual according to their own abilities.
