Opening in Autumn 2021 on the outskirts of Cambridge, The Cavendish School will be the world’s first International Baccalaureate (IB) special autism school and Cambridgeshire’s first state maintained special free school provision for young people with autism. 

The Cavendish School will provide the unique educational environment that young people with autism need to thrive and succeed when their needs cannot be met in a mainstream school. Our vision is to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which students can enjoy learning, achieve their potential and develop the key skills they need to thrive as independent, emotionally and socially confident young adults.

Initially the school will admit  around 40 students (Years 3 to 7). This intake will grow, year on year, to a maximum capacity of 80 students, from Year 3 to Year 13. Our curriculum  and teaching methodology will support each individual student, through a range of dedicated programmes that will build on their skills, and allow them to achieve, make progress and experience success.
