Community special school for ages 4–18 in London. Mixed intake.

The Garden School is a community special school in Hackney, London, teaching around 200 pupils aged 4 to 18, with a sixth form and special classes. Its SEN provision covers autistic spectrum disorder and severe learning difficulty. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2025 did not give an overall grade.

The school says it offers education for 4- to 18-year-olds with highly specialised provision for learners with autism. It describes a bespoke, child-centred curriculum built around communication, learning and independence, and says the school sits across two sites, with The Pavilion serving Key Stage 4 and 5 pupils.
