Ochil Tower School is a small residential school, which was founded in 1966 by C. R. Lewers and established as a Camphill School in 1972. The school offers day placements, weekly and fortnightly boarding arrangements. This arrangement allows us to tailor the individual provision to the needs and gives the possibility for the pupils to develop and maintain ongoing contact with their parents. Most of the pupils live within a 50 miles radius. Ochil Tower offers social pedagogy to a wide group of children with additional support needs. Ochil Tower has a secluded position, with seven acres of park land, a vegetable garden and paddock, and is situated in the centre of Auchterarder. About 70% of the pupils have a diagnosis of autism.
