About Us
MacIntyre Academies' first school, which opened in September 2014, was developed in partnership with Oxfordshire County Council to offer many children who had previously attended out-of-county schools the opportunity to be educated and receive specialist support much closer to home. We provide 32 places for children and young people (aged 8 to 19) with autism and learning difficulties who are in need of specialist education, care, and support. In addition, the academy offers flexible residential opportunities including 52 week, term time, weekly, and shorter placements in the onsite Children’s Home, Endeavour House. An extended curriculum enables children to take part in after-school activities as well as during the weekend and the school holiday periods.
