Co-located with a mainstream school, the Rise School will offer support and personalised education alongside a learning experience shared with mainstream pupils. The School’s goal is for students to make a successful transition to further learning, work and life as part of their community.

Opening in 2014, The Rise School is a Special Free School for pupils with autism aged 4-19 living in west London.

The school model is genuinely innovative, bringing together National Curriculum teaching and therapeutic support on a site that is co-located with a mainstream school.

Every child deserves the best chance to fulfil their potential. Our goal is that 85% of Key Stage 5 leavers will go onto further education, training or employment, helping them to lead fulfilling adult lives.
