The Liberty Academy Trust is an education charity established in 2022. Our vision is to create a world that works for autistic children and young people, by providing an exceptional educational offer so that they achieve success now and are well-prepared for adulthood. We work towards this vision through our core values of courage, determination and teamwork.
We are currently a small Trust of three academies, but we have plans to grow so that our reach and impact can extend further. Committed to providing an excellent education for autistic children and young people, our approach is to support the whole child, offering a balance of personalised teaching and therapeutic support as standard.
We opened Church Lawton School in 2015 and provide a curriculum for students from across the spectrum who have a range of learning needs. This covers an age range from age 4 to age 19, building each child’s development week by week, term by term and year by year.
