A former student of this school I can say for sure that these were not good times. To put it simply, don’t expect any more than the minimum effort in getting special help other than physical disabilities. Autism means changes of suddenness are distressing, yet when there I saw a disorganized mess of a system that punishes anyone who cannot cope with it. The staff almost appear to be there only for the money, as aside from a handful, they treat everyone there as if they were 3 year olds that just broke the TV because they didn’t get watching their cartoons. Guess a reason why they ban phones is because they don’t want to be caught talking to each other in horrible ways about the students they are meant to help! I clearly remember one child who got a detention for going to a funeral. Work or not, everyone has the right to say goodbye without fear of penalty. I can say for sure my own problems got worse instead of better from the experience of this school, and no one I know has any good feelings of having been there.

Due to the nature of the school, it really boils down to the people you are spending time with, ur class really is ur bubble and all u need is understanding staff and decent classmates and it can be very relaxed so really its just luck of the draw

I was a former pupil at Cedar lodge school very amazing when it was at Gray’s lane would love to go back to see some of the teachers

Wonderful School. Amazing and understanding teachers, kind and helpful staff and assistants. All-in-all, the best experience of learning I ever had.
