Ofsted and Autism Accreditation

Ofsted

Ofsted inspectors were impressed with the excellent quality of care, support and guidance when they visited TreeHouse School in 2009:

"The real strength of the school is the way support is geared specifically to each pupil. All specialists, either in education, care or health, work together to ensure the best possible support packages are in place. These are regularly reviewed and changes made when needed. This level of support is backed up by excellent safeguarding procedures that ensure all pupils are safe and secure in school and given exceptional levels of care and attention."

Autism Accreditation

Autism Accreditation is an autism-specific quality assurance programme provided by the National Autistic Society (NAS) for over 200 organisations throughout the UK and across the globe. The mission of Autism Accreditation is to improve the quality of provision for people with an autistic spectrum disorder by providing a systematic framework for continuous review and development and ensuring Accredited services demonstrate that they meet established criteria.

What does it mean for TreeHouse and ABA?

TreeHouse School has achieved Autism Accreditation annually since 2004. Being accredited by the National Autistic Society’s Autism Accreditation panel means a lot to TreeHouse School. As the first ABA school in the UK, TreeHouse School has had to prove itself as using an effective, scientifically based method of teaching children with Autism – ABA. The Autism Accreditation programme reviews a wide range of very specific standards of the service and therefore, being fully accredited is a clear indicator that TreeHouse School is providing a good education to its pupils using ABA.

Through the programme, TreeHouse School will continue to be reviewed on an annual basis.
