We are a provision for children and young people with autism, learning disabilities and complex needs, including behaviours of concern, from age eight to 19. View Brochure Welcome Kisimul School Lincolnshire operates over two sites with one registration – the sites are at Swinderby, a small village between Lincoln and Newark, and at Acacia Hall, which is about 10 miles North of Lincoln in the village of Friesthorpe, near Market Rasen. While the majority of our young people reside in our associated children’s homes, we are also able to offer day and weekly boarding placements. The school is subject to Ofsted inspection against both the Independent School Standards and the Education Inspection Framework. “The curriculum enables pupils to develop their communication, emotional and social skills effectively. The input from the therapy teams blends very effectively with the academic curriculum and is a strength of the school’s provision.” Kisimul School Ofsted Report June 2019 Due to Covid-19 the anticipated routine inspections have been suspended, but during an Ofsted Assurance Visit in September 2020, the Ofsted inspectors concluded that “The home has improved in all areas since the last full inspection and continues to improve in all areas.” Our approach Facilities Curriculum Activities Staff & Therapeutic Services Safeguarding Regulatory Term dates Policies FAQ Contact details News Our approach Kisimul Lower School (Swinderby) are committed to non-aversive approaches to supporting behaviour.
