The Forum School is a 38-52 weeks school and home for children and young people diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Located in the glorious Dorset countryside with 28 acres of land for play and relaxation, the school boasts of many facilities such as a theatre, sports hall, indoor and outdoor riding areas, climbing wall, multiple safe play areas and a swimming pool.

Children and young people have full access to the National Curriculum with teaching appropriately differentiated to meet their needs. In addition, The Forum School draws upon a proven programme of specialist education and 24 hour care with a wide range of clinical and therapeutic inputs.

Highly specialist staff

Multi-disciplinary teams and high staffing ratios ensure intensive individual support. In each class, six students benefit from the attentions of a teacher and at least two teaching assistants.

We offer a home away from home, accommodating children and young people in both on-site and off-site homes. Every child or young person has a keyworker overseeing their care, welfare, safety and learning programmes.

Admission can take place at any time of the school year.
