About The Rowan School

Rowan School is a special school for primary aged children who have complex speech, language and communication difficulties. All our children have an autistic spectrum profile and some present challenging behaviours. Many pupils have special educational requirements in areas such as
• motor skills
• sensory difficulties
• emotional and behavioural difficulties; such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
• the development of social and communication skills

The school is located on Durvale Court, just off Furniss Avenue in Dore. It is on a pleasant site surrounded by with playing fields and a small area of woodland. The original school was built in 1976. There is a multi purpose hall, a well equipped food technology room, a specially adapted, sensory room; designed to promote calm, focused behaviour; and a library.
We currently offer 99 places with children grouped into 12 classes. Each classroom has access to outside play areas and includes a quiet room; where children can be taught individually or have time to calm.

A teacher and a minimum of two teaching and learning assistants staff each class. Additional teaching and learning assistants are allocated to classes according to need, with higher staffing ratios in classes with children with more complex needs.
