Those Huge Small Victories

Our teachers are fulfilled by the idea of making even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things. Theres lots of ups and downs, and to some of our young people, sitting through a lesson can be a big win. We call these huge small victories and whilst they may seem small on the surface, they add up to make a big difference.

Get out what you put in

Youll be working with children and young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder/Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. Youll be there to help them learn, develop their abilities and raise their self-esteem.

It can be a tough journey, but the positive steps forward will more than make up for it.

One of the best environments in SEND

Luxborough Court School is a brand-new, purpose-built school registered for 150 pupils aged 5 19 with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. There is a large sports hall with changing facilities (the site was formally a Premier League football clubs training ground), a bespoke 6th form suite plus a number of other smaller individual spaces used for therapeutic intervention and bespoke support. The School benefits from extensive outdoor space plus a large central courtyard garden in the centre of the school and separate secondary and junior playgrounds, with a multi-use games area.

There are good public transport connections with Chigwell Station less than a mile away, providing Central Line Tube services to London and Essex. The road links are good - the site is located near the M11, Junction 4.
