Autism Outreach for Schools
Autism Outreach for Schools is commissioned by Surrey County Council to be delivered by Freemantles School through a partnership arrangement. Woodlands is one of the partner schools, and we deliver Autism Outreach for Primary Schools in the East of Surrey.
Our aim is to support mainstream schools to meet the needs of their autistic and neuro-diverse pupils or those undiagnosed but struggling in similar areas. We work with mainstream schools to promote inclusive whole school practice (universal support) as well as supporting staff working with individual pupils (targeted support).
The outreach team is made up of teachers and teaching assistants who have a range of training in autism-specific strategies, and many staff have experience working in both mainstream and specialist school settings.
