Pictor Academy is an outstanding school held in high regard locally and nationally. The school is for children aged 2 - 11 with special educational needs from various conditions. A large proportion of the population are children with autism. This means that they have difficulties communicating and interacting with others.

Each pupil at Pictor has an individual programme including activities that are designed to encourage them to make good progress across all areas and achieve their full potential. Programmes include specialist approaches and resources to help them do this.
