Description
The Quest School is Independent Secondary school in Not applicable for kids aged 5 to 19 (Gender - 5 to 19 )
The Quest School was founded in September 2003 to provide a specialist school for pupils with autism. Children and young people with autism have specific and distinct needs, and they and their families deserve an education that is right for them. At Quest School, the pupils always come first and they strive to help them reach their full potential, to maximise their opportunities to access and integrate into mainstream community life to the greatest possible extent, for the benefit of themselves and their families.The Quest School is committed to providing a fully inclusive environment, which recognises and meets diversity of need. Each pupil is valued as being special and unique, with their own rich mix of abilities, strengths and talents. Whilst recognising that they all have difficulties to overcome, we are committed to enabling them to get the most out of life.

Curriculum
At Quest School, the curriculum is designed to meet the specific needs of pupils with autism, whilst also providing a broad, balanced and inclusive educational experience for all.Pupils’ individual needs are at the heart of all curriculum and timetable planning, and individual programmes of work derive from their Education Health Care plans.We believe that children learn best when they are happy; we therefore ensure that the curriculum is interesting and engaging and that pupils have fun while learning. Once the children begin to experience success with learning, they show how much they enjoy, and are proud of, their achievements.Pupils at Quest School typically have significant impairments in communication, social understanding and flexibility of thought due to their diagnosis of autism and learning disability. The pupils therefore require a high level of adult mediation to enable effective learning. Most teaching takes place in either individual or small group teaching sessions, where pupils are grouped with others of a similar age and ability.
