The Cavendish School (TCS) is an Autism Specialist school, newly opened in September 2021 as part of Eastern Learning Alliance. The school has excellent facilities for academic progression with fully equipped Specialist rooms, which include a science laboratory as well as bespoke designed facilities, such as a sensory integration room to support the therapeutic needs of the pupils.
We are very excited to be providing a new local provision for children with autism who have the ability to achieve in line with their mainstream peers but need additional SEND support within their teaching staff and environment.
