School Awards

Autism Accreditation

After a visit by Stephen Dedridge a Senior Advisor for Autism Accreditation and others, to our Beckton site over a period of three days as well as  a peer review in March, JFK School has been awarded Autism Accreditation.

The National Autistic Society sets extremely high standards of service, which JFK Special School has worked incredibly hard to meet.

Autism Accreditation highlights good autism practice and the NAS are very pleased to celebrate JFK Special School's achievement.

Autism Accreditation works to improve the quality of provision for autistic people by

  • providing a standard of excellence in both policy and practice
  • presenting a systematic framework for continuous self-examination and development
  • giving guidance and support to the services who use the programme so that they can meet the established criteria require for accredited status

Early in May 2017 JFK was inspected by Ofsted with an Outstanding Result. We then repeated this result in November 2022, retaining our Outstanding status.
