Aurora Redehall School

Aurora Redehall School supports children aged 6 to 11 years with communication difficulties typically associated with Asperger’s Syndrome and Autism.

Students are likely to experience challenges with social communication and interaction with others and may have additional issues around their understanding of the social rules. These difficulties can impact on their emotional wellbeing, behaviour, and ability to participate in education.

Larger environments requiring movement between classrooms, noise and big groups can create anxieties which become a barrier to learning and social development, resulting in many having extended periods out of school and then falling behind their peers.

Redehall School provides a learning structure and environment conducive to this specific student profile, designed to help them re-engage with learning and enjoy school life. With the right support, most students can achieve academic success and can work towards GCSEs and equivalent qualifications.

Specialist teaching and integrated therapeutic support, together with small classes and a nurturing approach give them the opportunity to work at a pace that’s right for them. We help build self-esteem and confidence, work on strategies to support students’ individual needs and enable them to focus on their education, alongside the development of their social skills.

Autism Outreach for Schools

Autism Outreach for Schools is a service commissioned by Surrey County Council and delivered by staff based at some of Surrey's specialist provisions.

They support schools to meet the needs of their autistic and neuro-diverse pupils, or those undiagnosed but struggling in similar areas.

Autism Outreach promotes inclusive whole school practise (universal support), as well as supporting staff working with individual pupils (targeted support).

Referrals

Targeted referrals are made through the school that the child attends. School staff can refer pupils, with parental permission.

Parents and others who wish for the service to be provided for a child should approach the child's school and ask them to make the request. Parents cannot refer on their child's behalf and pupils cannot self-refer to this service.

After referral, there is usually a wait of around six weeks to access this service, although there may be some flexibility for urgent cases.

All referrals can be made through the referral section of the Autism Outreach site.

Telephone: 01483 545 680 and press 3 for outreach
