Sara Bayley, Head Teacher at Inscape House School

At Inscape House School, we break down barriers to learning for children with autism. Based in Cheadle, we support young people from Year 1 to Year 14.

We recognise that every child is different. That's why we create individual learning programmes matched with a core team of therapists. All delivered by our dedicated team and accredited by the National Autistic Society.
