A dedicated and specialist team
Every class has a qualified specialist Teacher, supported by a highly skilled and experienced team including Teaching Assistants. Our committed and creative staff build trusting and caring relationships with the young people that make them feel safe and valued at school.
Our in-house expert therapy team includes a Speech and Language Therapist, an Occupational Therapist, Counsellor and Mentor and Wellbeing Lead. All teaching staff have been trained to integrate therapy into daily lessons and work closely with our therapy team, who plan and oversee this. The pastoral team support the attendance, punctuality, behaviour and the general welfare of pupils, and lead on the positive behaviour support approach followed by the school.
Roehampton Gate School undertakes rigorous safeguarding checks for all newly appointed staff. The professional development of our team is promoted by access to the comprehensive and continually updated training programme we access as part of Aspris Children’s Services, one of the UK’s leading specialist education providers. This includes regular training on autistic spectrum disorders (ASD), complex special educational needs and education, enabling our team to learn from best practice, continually updating their knowledge so students benefit from innovative and effective new approaches at school.
Staff build strong relationships with the local authorities and professionals supporting our students, to facilitate the best possible outcomes. They work in partnership with families providing weekly updates on progress and regularly consulting on next steps. All have an understanding of the impact that having a child with autism can have on families.
