What Sets This School Apart
1. The Winstedt Way Teaching Methodology
The Winstedt School’s inclusivity and support services extend beyond students with learning challenges to also address the needs of neurotypical students. Every student has an integrated Team of therapists, pastoral care support, and specially-trained teachers. Our small class sizes allow personalised instruction that delivers a mainstream curriculum at the level, and in the manner, best suited to each student as well as multi-sensory lessons.
2. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) In The Classroom And Beyond
Integrated Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is woven into every aspect of our curriculum to nurture the emotional intelligence and well-being of each student. We create a supportive environment where students develop self-awareness, empathy, and strong interpersonal skills through daily interactions, guided activities, and reflective practices.
3. Integrated Therapy
What sets Winstedt apart is our 15 years of expertise of seamlessly integrating Therapy and Pastoral Care into our innovative education model. Comprising a wide range of specialists such as speech-language therapists (SLT), occupational therapists (OT), behaviour therapists (BT) and counsellors, we offer a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) across school. Our therapists are an integral part of each student's support "Team", working with them in the classroom, in targeted groups, and throughout the day.
Exciting New Developments
The Winstedt School Young Explorers Programme (Year 1 & 2) is launching in 2025.
The Winstedt School Young Explorers Programme is an innovative programme crafted specifically for Winstedt’s neurodiverse students in Years 1 and 2 (Early Years). This programme is tailored to meet the unique developmental needs of our neurodiverse early learners who require additional support in accessing the foundation curriculum.
The programme focuses on creating an engaging and supportive learning environment where each child’s unique developmental needs are recognized and nurtured. In addition to the academics, The Winstedt School Young Explorers Programme integrates a holistic Exploration and Life Skills component that incorporates Executive Functioning Skills, which includes Occupational Therapy (OT) and Speech and Language Therapy (SLT), in addition to Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). This comprehensive approach supports the development of interpersonal skills, fostering a sense of collaboration, empathy, and inclusivity among peers.
At its core, The Winstedt School Young Explorers Programme empowers each child to explore their world with confidence and enthusiasm, paving the way towards a journey of lifelong learning.
School Culture
At The Winstedt School, we believe in the connectivity of community. Students, teachers, staff and parents work together to create an inclusive atmosphere that is grounded in the School’s spirit and beliefs.
Our uniquely integrated community of educators, support specialists, therapists and parent volunteers collaborate seamlessly to ensure each child has the tools they need for academic success. Our close-knit and welcoming school culture helps students feel valued and supported. At Winstedt, it is a second home and a school where everybody knows your name.

Our Camps look at the power and possibility in our students to unearth their strengths and face their fears. They dismiss the fancy widgets and embrace important relationships – inter and intra-personal.
Camp demands a lot from our students because it does matter what every individual does. Getting comfortable away from home and in touch with the outdoors requires more than physical exertion. It requires a high level of personal responsibility and thoughtfulness toward the group. Camp works toward increased independence and self-esteem whilst nature challenges students without keeping score.
