Summary

Hamilton School is a Foundation Special School located in Birmingham, catering to 172 pupils aged 4 to 16, all of whom have a diagnosis of Autism and an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The school is transitioning from a Primary Special School to an all-age provision, aiming to provide continuity in education for its students. The curriculum is designed to be Inspirational, Aspirational, and Transformational, focusing on individualised learning tailored to the needs of each pupil.

The school emphasises a supportive learning environment, utilising strategies such as TEACCH and SCERTS to create an Autism-friendly atmosphere. Communication development is a key focus, with the integration of Speech and Language Therapy and the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) to assist non-verbal pupils. Additionally, a strong pastoral support team collaborates closely with families to ensure comprehensive assistance.

Hamilton School values community engagement and operates within a Co-operative Trust alongside other Birmingham Special Schools, promoting collaboration and sharing of best practices. The school also offers holiday clubs and after-school provisions to support families during breaks.
