Welcome to Russet House School

I am delighted to welcome you to the Russet House School website and hope that from its pages you will not only find answers to your queries but also gain an understanding of what makes us a very special school.

Russet House is proud to be a Local Authority Special School for autistic pupils aged 3 to 11 years from across the London Borough of Enfield.

We provide a high quality, specialised education in a happy, purposeful and nurturing environment. We understand the differences experienced by autistic young people (as identified by the Autism Education Trust) in the areas of:

social understanding and communication
sensory processing and integration
flexible thinking and information processing.

Our curriculum https://russethouse.enfield.sch.uk/School/Curricuum-plans/ has been developed in recognition of these and so at its core are the life-skills of social communication and self-regulation. Learning is enhanced by a range of specialist and motivating teaching strategies. Behaviour is supported through positive and trauma informed approaches, which are rooted in promoting wellbeing.

If you are looking for a school place for your child, then please visit our admissions page https://russethouse.enfield.sch.uk/School/Admissions/ and contact the school office to book a parent tour. We value open communication and collaboration with our parents, working together to identify each child’s next steps and helping them to generalise their learning between home and school.

If you are looking to join our staff team then please follow the link to vacancies https://russethouse.enfield.sch.uk/School/Vacancies/ We offer excellent professional development as part of a positive and supportive team. Knowledge and experience of SEND is an advantage but not essential, more important is an interest in children, autism and a readiness to learn in our fast paced-environment.

The Enfield Advisory Service for Autism (EASA) is part of Russet House School, sharing our expertise and experience through a specialist outreach service.
