A majority of the pupils have Autism and many have co-existing conditions including ADHD, sensory processing disorder, learning disabilities, disruptive behaviour disorders, mood disorders, anxiety, tics and Tourette syndrome, epilepsy and learning disabilities. Applicants must be confident and capable of supporting pupils who have problems with communication, moving independently, eating or have sensory difficulties.
