Queensmill School aims to give the skills our staff need to meet the very discrete needs of our children, through a range of appropriate training. This training provides staff opportunities for their own professional development in regards to knowledge of autism, specific subject knowledge and any other relevant knowledge related to providing an appropriate education and environment for children with autism. These training needs are also linked in to the School Improvement Plan.
