Fieldstone School is an independent day school, supporting the most vulnerable young people in society aged 5‑16; those children who do not find it easy to fit into existing educational provision. This can be for many reasons, including a range of behavioural, emotional and educational challenges, exacerbated by being on the autistic spectrum.
