Our School:
Linn Moor Residential School boasts a rich legacy of offering specialized residential care and education for children and young adults diagnosed with autism, as well as related conditions such as social and communication differences, and learning disabilities.

Our ethos revolves around providing diverse learning opportunities within resource-rich environments, fostering the development of transferable academic, vocational, and life skills.
Our highly skilled education team collaborates closely with our equally proficient care team to deliver a comprehensive, holistic education program tailored to the individual needs of our students. Guided by the principles of Getting it Right for Every Child and the Curriculum for Excellence, we support our students through their educational journey, embracing their complexities and occasional challenging behaviours. To ensure the excellence of our team, we invest in comprehensive training and support in various approaches, including Understanding Autism and its impact, Total Communication (TEACCH, PECS & Makaton, and the use of technology), and Behavioural Support Strategies (BSS). These methodologies, among others, are instrumental in facilitating the growth and education of the children and young adults residing at Linn Moor, enabling them to actively participate in a continuum of learning experiences.
