Welcome to The Springfields Academy. We are a large special school in Calne, Wiltshire for autistic pupils and pupils with speech, language and communication needs. We are an all-through school, supporting learners from ages 4-19 to build safe, independent lives. Being the Headteacher of Springfields is a privilege- it is an innovative and inspirational place where both children and staff can learn, grow, and develop. Our talented, multi-disciplinary team work together to ensure all our pupils achieve aspirational outcomes to live a safe, independent life beyond Springfields through support, understanding and enablement. Our educational approach is child - centred, we value each pupil's uniqueness and view each pupil as an individual within our community. We remove barriers to learning and social interaction so that each child can achieve their potential. Our therapy first culture is integral to giving each individual the best foundation for learning and development. We are proud to have our own in-house Therapy Team and bespoke Therapy facilities allowing us to offer a range of therapeutic interventions to meet a range of needs.
