Overview

About Snowflake School

Snowflake School is a specialist independent school for pupils with autism aged 5-17 years, offering a broad and balanced curriculum based on Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and Skinners Analysis of Verbal Behaviour (VB). The school provides highly personalised learning through a multi-professional approach including teachers, learning and behaviour specialists, speech and language therapists, and occupational therapists. The school aims to improve the quality of family life by supporting pupils to thrive and live happy, confident lives, nurturing communication, independence, and resilience. The school operates two sites: Primary Site for ages 5-11 and Secondary Site for ages 11-17.

Our take

Best for
  • Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 5–17) rather than separate prep + senior.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
  • Families who would rather not put their child through a selective entrance assessment.
Watch-outs
  • Fees aren't published. Treat published external fee comparisons with caution and ask admissions directly before shortlisting.
