St. John's School and College

About Us

St. John’s is a non-maintained specialist provision, working with autistic people, the majority of whom also have learning disabilities. Some of our learners have co-occurring conditions such as epilepsy, hearing or visual impairments, or mental health needs. We also support autistic learners who have an additional profile of Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) syndrome.

Each learner’s curriculum is shaped by their individual strengths, interests, and challenges. St. John’s is awarded with Autism Accreditation by the National Autistic Society (NAS). We support our learners to develop their skills in the NAS’s four focus areas of:

- Difference in social communication and interaction
- Self-reliance and problem-solving
- Sensory
- Emotional Well-being

What it’s like to work for us?

St. John's School and College is a dynamic environment where colleagues are surrounded by and are learning from other specialists from a range of fields. Our team is built up of support workers, care managers, teachers, speech and language therapists, positive behaviour support practitioners, and occupational therapists (just to name a few!). It is a place of team work, shared practice, and development.

St. John’s has an outstanding training package which ensures our learners are supported by a highly skilled staff team who respect their choices and lifestyle. We have high expectations for our learners, helping them to achieve success in their future lives.

We are here to make a difference to the lives of each and every learner at St John's; this shared passion makes it an inspiring place to work!
