Brent Knoll is a community special school for children aged 4-16 primarily with social and communication difficulties and in particular those on the autism spectrum. Many of the children at Brent Knoll also have behavioural and learning difficulties arising from their primary need. Brent Knoll was recently judged to be outstanding in every OFSTED category and in collaboration with other Lewisham special schools provides special needs training, guidance and support for mainstream schools.
