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.
