About Northcroft School

Northcroft School is a small, outstanding independent school in West Berkshire, supporting up to 34 students with a range of special educational needs and disabilities. We welcome students from Year 7 to Year 11 and place children at the heart of everything we do.

Our pupils may have learning difficulties, social and emotional needs and autism (ASD). Many have a history of non-attendance and need a consistent, relational approach to help them re-engage with education. With a child-centred approach and a commitment to trauma-informed practice, we create opportunities for pupils to rediscover their love of learning.

As part of Amegreen Education, we focus on personalised education pathways that support both academic progress and emotional development. Our broad and enriching curriculum is designed to build confidence, inspire curiosity and help every child achieve their potential.
