ASD and Bank View

Bank View is an outstanding school for pupils with ASD/CLD. Bank View has the national autistic society’s charter mark and strives continually to develop its provision for young people with autism.

Our Teaching and learning policy describes what effective teaching and effective learning looks like for our students. We refer to a range of strategies that we use including use of visuals, TEACCH, small group work and 1:1 work.

For pupils whose needs are more complex, a referral to our Wellbeing Hub can be made by the student, a parent or staff. Within the Wellbeing Hub staff have a variety of skills to support students with ASD through a therapeutic approach.

We have a number of pupils in school with sensory processing difficulties. All of our staff have received training on how sensory processing difficulties can impact on a student’s learning and how we can address those issues within the classroom.

Bank View holds the NAS Accreditation Award – we were re-accredited in June 2022.
