Savio Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Resource Base
Savio is the ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) Resource Base at Saint John Bosco College.
Savio offers a quiet and supportive environment away from the usual hustle and bustle of secondary school life. It offers withdrawal for 1:1 and small group work, independent quiet study time at TEACCH-style workstations and access to IT facilities. At break and lunchtime, there are games and activities on offer and Savio students are encouraged to invite their friends in to play games and to socialise.
The purpose of Savio is to support students to access the curricular activities of the main school with the appropriate level of support, whilst providing a place, and staff expertise, for some very specific and individual needs. It will also provide a centre of expertise within the school enabling all staff to develop their ability to cater for the needs of these students.
In September 2015 the school moved to a brand new state-of-the-art premises in Surrey Lane Battersea. Facilities include:
- £26m New Build Catholic Secondary school (11-18)
- 80m2 dedicated internal ASD space
- Full access to school facilities including:
