MacIntyre School, Wingrave is a residential special School open for 52 weeks with a class based year of 40 weeks. The school is recognised by the DCSF as an independent School for students with severe learning difficulties and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The school offers residential and educational provision for children and young people who experience difficulties arising from: severe learning disabilities; profound learning disabilities; ASD; and challenging behaviour. Additional needs catered for include: epilepsy and minor physical impairment. The school employs a school nurse full-time. Medical needs are catered for through the usual community channels unless there is the need for a specialised response. MacIntyre School Wingrave’s mission is to support young people in acquiring skills and experiences so that they may take their rightful place in society as valued and contributing members. The school will do this by providing education across 24 hours that: values the partnership with parents and carers; recognises and promotes individual ability; provides learning opportunities in a variety of environments; challenges the creativity of students and staff; uses shared expertise from all professionals; teaches skills and attitudes to lead to greater independence level; reflects the quality provisions expected of MacIntyre; and is fun and gives pleasure in the recognition of achievement. Volunteers may be accepted to work with the pupils.
