We are excited to announce that TCSED has been selected by Ambitious About Autism as one of six pilot schools to start a Whole School Approach (WSA) to autism and mental health.

The WSA, which starts this September, will involve a range of activities to develop understanding of autistic students’ academic and pastoral support needs across the school community. It will include setting up a School Working Group (SWG) involving parents, teachers, governors, senior leaders and non-teaching staff as well as an Autistic Youth Council who will help to inform any changes required across the school.
