Forest Bridge School (FBS) is a school for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder located 20 miles outside of London in the charming town of Maidenhead, which opened in 2015. Incorporating a carefully designed in-house FBS curriculum based on the Science of Behaviour, academic and accredited curricula, and Preparation for Adulthood outcomes, we are a unique setting for advanced and early learners alike. We pride ourselves on our multi-disciplinary approach to learning with an emphasis on tailoring programs to meet the unique needs of each pupil.
At Forest Bridge School, we embrace each child’s unique journey through Applied Behaviour Analysis, guided by a profound respect for their individuality, strengths, and the distinct stages of their development. We believe in nurturing a child’s core self, allowing them to express who they are without the need to mask.
Our approach is family-centred and community-oriented, creating a supportive environment that extends beyond our school walls. We delve deeply into understanding each child’s medical, mental health needs, and neurodiverse needs, ensuring our strategies are tailored specifically to them.
We operate on a foundation of transparency and mutual respect, valuing the dignity of every child. Our team works collaboratively, rejecting traditional hierarchies to foster personal connections and equal partnership.
Our professionals embody empathy and adaptability, committed to learning from each child’s progress to continually refine our practice.
