A Word From The Principal

My inspiration for Hope House School was because of the plight of one small boy with a rare genetic disorder called Opitz Syndrome, who is also on the Autistic Spectrum.  This little boy is Hugh, and he is my grandson and is now 24 years of age.  I know his trauma is not unique and there are many children and families throughout the UK who are struggling to provide their children with the most effective education and care.  For many their disorders make attending mainstream school a torment.

Through passionate fund raising efforts and professional support, I have now realised my dream to provide a unique school, which will transform the lives of up to twenty eight educationally fragile children.  We will also be supporting people of any age with autism. Through specially tailored one to one or two to one tuition in individual teaching rooms and small groups, my staff aim to build their confidence and help them make sense of the world around them.  By using our very special animals, we give them responsibility, something to love and care for and all this is reciprocated in a non judgemental way.  

I hope you enjoy reading our web site, but should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the school directly.
