Drumbeat is a centre of excellence with a strong mission and purpose to transform CYP's lives, and the lives of their families, for the better.

Its work should be groundbreaking, innovative and creative, with a 21st century pedagogy that puts the CYP's needs at the heart of everything it does.


Drumbeat's work draws from the latest research in Autism to build upon 'tried & tested' practice and shape teaching approaches closely to children's learning styles.

Teaching will be unswervingly personalised so CYP actively and meaningfully engage in learning. A high priority will be given to developing effective communication approaches.

Underpinning the school's values will be a comprehensive understanding of the link between behaviour and communication, recognising that behaviour is communication.

Through proper interpretation, understanding and meeting needs, and enabling children to communicate their needs and desires effectively, it is possible to reduce challenging behaviours.
