Is your child not coping well in school or college?

Children and young people aged between 11-25 years of age with behavioural difficulties or developmental disabilities such as autism attend our provision in York and Doncaster. They may experience significant difficulties regulating their emotions and behaviours in response to life challenges, especially recently, COVID 19 and lockdown.

York Press:

From September 2022, Ad Astra will be introducing a new SEN cohort. Supporting children with additional learning difficulties and disabilities, with specialised learning curriculum and progression into work experience placements and future job opportunities. We can also support them with English, maths and ICT functional skills and GCSE’s. Places are limited, so contact your local authority to request a placement for your child today, for September 2022.

  • Children and young adults with educational health care plans, students who cannot cope well in the school environment – especially after lockdown.
  • A new Introduction to Mechanics course is also being added to our timetable from September. If your child is aged between 11-16 and interested in mechanics, this is an excellent introduction to working hands on with motor vehicles.
  • Our Post 16 land based, construction and sports studies will continue throughout 2022-2023.
