About our school
Billing Brook is an all age, 4-18 years, school for pupils with a range of complex needs in particular:
- significant or severe learning difficulties;
- autistic spectrum disorder;
- speech, language and communication difficulties
Pupils are likely to have a combination of special educational needs.
Pupils’ levels of learning difficulties range from severe to significant; their learning is significantly below age related expectations.
Autism Accreditation Advanced
We are proud to have had our provision for pupils with autism awarded Advanced status, the highest level of accreditation, by a panel of experts from the The National Autistic Society. In their letter congratulating us they say that the assessors "found compelling evidence that autistic young people access high quality personalised programmes of educational and therapeutic support". They further state "Autism practice was observed to be embedded into the framework and ethos of the school which resulted in a high level of consistency and quality in practice throughout the school."
OFSTED
When Ofsted inspected us in October 2019 they judged that we continue to be an outstanding school. This is the third time since 2011 that we have been judged to be outstanding. An achievement we are very proud of.
