Introduction

Rosehill School is a special school for children and young people aged 4–19, with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). All pupils have an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and a diagnosis of autism. 

The school is set in a residential area on the outskirts of Nottingham City Centre and has an Early Year’s provision and a Sixth Form. Admissions to the school are through the Nottingham City Local Authority. Rosehill School is part of the Nottingham Schools Trust.

We pride ourselves on the facilities that include specialist sensory areas, a dance studio, PE hall, library, art studio, indoor and outdoor gym, Woodland Walk, café and training kitchens. We also have a Multi Immersive Learning Environment (MILE). 

We are committed to and passionate about the learning and progress of our pupils. Staff and governors have high aspirations, and we aim to provide a broad and balanced education with a focus on individual, personal and academic achievement.

At Rosehill School, the autistic children and young people we teach all have learning disabilities and many have additional diagnoses which makes their support needs complex. There is a range of expertise throughout the school, from our highly skilled teachers and teaching assistants to additional collaboration with other agencies, including the Occupational Therapy Service, Speech and Language Therapists, Educational Psychology and Health Teams. 

The schools vision statement has been co-produced in partnership with our whole school community and this encompasses our shared values, to ensure each child can excel and reach their full potential, and they are well-equipped and prepared for the next stage of their education and for adulthood. We work in partnership with our families and multi-agency colleagues to ensure our pupils achieve their goals, and so that they have access to the right support, at the right time, from the right people. 

We know how valuable each day at school is, so we aim to extend opportunities outside of school in sport, the arts, cultural experiences such as visiting museums and libraries, work experience and many other areas.

We strive to be at the forefront of autism research and best practice to ensure the best possible outcomes for our learners. We are committed to sharing our experience and expertise with other professionals, parents and anyone with a passion to learn more about autism and complex needs.
