Potterspury Lodge School is an independent Rudolf Steiner school in Northamptonshire, England. It has in the past (but not for about 20 years) taken girls but it is now a boys' school for ages 8-16. In the past it has dealt with children with autism, aspergers, behavioural problems and other emotional or psychological difficulties.

Location

.

Because of the location the school is in, it tries to make as much of it as possible. The school's grounds contain a sports field, an adventure playground, fishing lake, sports hall, tennis court, basketball court and skate park.

Curriculum

As an independent school, Potterspury Lodge is allowed freedom in its teaching; for instance the boys in Years 10 and 11 follow a ASDAN Life Skills programme but at the same time students take the GCSEs like a normal comprehensive.

pecial Needs

Previously the school was mostly used for children who had problems behaving or being in a classroom situation but recently it has tended to take students who are part of the autism spectrum or who suffer with Asperger's Syndrome. Because of this the school employs an educational psychologist, child psychiatrist and a curative eurythmy Therapist.
