Clarendon School is a vibrant and inclusive special academy for 160 pupils aged 4-16 with Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD) and other complex needs (including Autism) . Our unique and friendly school has three centres within the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, all self-contained but co-located with inclusive-minded mainstream schools. Our Primary and Secondary centres opened in new or newly refurbished buildings 8 years ago, giving us excellent purpose-built facilities, and our fourth centre is scheduled to open in Autumn 2026 in Petersham, to ensure that we can meet the increasing need for specialist places locally. Clarendon School is a proud member of the Auriga Academy Trust, a unique partnership of special schools in Richmond, that is committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for young people with additional learning needs.
