lighthouse school leeds
Welcome to our inspirational school that is delivering a unique, quality and
individualised High School education to autistic students. Lighthouse School
came about through five families with children on the autistic spectrum who had
identified a great demand for a school that specifically met the needs of
students on the autistic spectrum. Our vision was to create a school where
students can thrive, where their needs are fully understood and met, where
learning is individualised and aligned to their destination, and where the
environment supports their specific learning styles. We want to enable our
students to develop independence, a true sense of their own self-worth and the
capacity to contribute to society and live a full and happy life. The
Government’s Free School Programme gave us the ideal vehicle to turn the vision
into reality and we were fortunate to be the first Special Free School in the
country to open its doors in September 2012.
