Bestwood Village School is a small, independent school catering for children and young people with autism aged 7 – 16 who may have a range of additional needs.
The school is a situated in Bestwood village, Nottinghamshire and has been remodeled and refurbished to best support the needs of our pupils.
As a school and dedicated family team we use best practice strategies and interventions to deliver highly individualised learning opportunities for our pupils, utilising a bespoke autism-specific curriculum driven by the pupil’s needs and interests, whilst also being informed by Development Matters, Elements of National Curriculum, PSHE Association Planning Framework for Pupils with SEND and the Autism Education Trust’s Pupil Progression Framework.
