Description
The Cavendish School is Independent Primary school in Camden for kids aged 3 to 11 (Gender - Girls )
Opening in Autumn 2021 on the outskirts of Cambridge, The Cavendish School will be the world’s first International Baccalaureate (IB) special autism school and Cambridgeshire’s first state maintained special free school provision for young people with autism.The Cavendish School will provide the unique educational environment that young people with autism need to thrive and succeed when their needs cannot be met in a mainstream school. Our vision is to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which students can enjoy learning, achieve their potential and develop the key skills they need to thrive as independent, emotionally and socially confident young adults.Initially the school will admit students into Year 7 from September 2021 and then from Years 3 - 6 from January 2022. Our curriculum and teaching methodology will support each individual student, through a range of dedicated programmes that will build on their skills, and allow them to achieve, make progress and experience success.

Alongside this teaching model any therapies, interventions and multi-disciplinary support will be embedded throughout the whole school day and tailored to each individual regardless of their age or key stage.The first of its kind, The Cavendish School will be an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, which means that our curriculum will follow the IB programmes and accredited qualifications, alongside specific therapies or interventions as appropriate for individuals.
