Welcome from Carla Adams-McCoy, Headteacher

I’m delighted to extend a warm welcome to you to Brinksway School! As the Headteacher, I take great pride in leading our wonderful school community.

At Brinksway School, we passionately support autistic children and young people aged 5 to 19 who may have additional needs . We hold high aspirations for every student, tailoring our curriculum to nurture their individual needs. Our aim is to foster a positive environment where students not only excel academically but also build self-esteem, gain valuable skills, and develop a deep understanding of the world around them.

We understand the vital role that families play in a child’s education journey. That’s why we value and encourage a collaborative partnership with families to ensure a fulfilling and joyful experience for everyone involved.

As we continue to grow and evolve, we remain dedicated to the ongoing development of our school, always striving to offer the best possible learning opportunities for our students.
