Welcome from Lucy McLoughlin

Welcome to Presfield High Schools’ website!

I am proud to introduce myself as the Headteacher of this incredible school. Throughout my journey as a Senior Leader at Presfield, I can honestly say that our staff, pupils, parents and professionals alike work tirelessly together to achieve the same common goal for our pupils; to break down the barriers so often associated with a diagnosis of Autism and help teach them to be the best version of themselves. 

We have high expectations for all our pupils and believe that ensuring both the right environment together with the correct teacher will allow them all to thrive and learn. This is clearly demonstrated by our academic outcomes at KS4 and KS5 and the destinations of our school leavers.  Equally important however is the outstanding social progress which our pupils make during their journey with us.  

We are a family orientated school, one that aims to be at the heart of the community and we take pride in who we are and all that we do.  We are a calm and happy school, where our pupils are safe and where they can learn how to thrive in a world that doesn’t always understand their needs. We encourage “risk taking” so that our pupils can make informed choices, develop regulation strategies and learn to succeed in all they do.

“The Presfield Way” aims to shape futures and change lives through a set of core beliefs built upon working together, building resilience and advocating for our pupil’s needs. This drives us to re-imagine the potential of your child so that they will be active and positive contributors to society, far beyond the gates of Presfield.

If you are ready to choose change and start your journey with us, please contact the school to arrange a visit and see how you can become part of the Presfield Community.
