Introduction to NORSACA

NORSACA is a charity that enables people with autism to live their lives with dignity, choice and independence.

The charity was established in 1968 by a group of parents who wanted to ensure that there were appropriate educational facilities for children with autism in the Nottinghamshire area.  The school they set up, Sutherland House, is now located across five sites.  The charity also offers residential and day care services for adults.  In addition, Family Services offers help and support to the families of people with autism.

'Outstanding' Ofsted result for Sutherland House School!

Sutherland House School has received an 'outstanding' Ofsted result following a recent inspection. The report states “parents and carers overwhelmingly value the work of the school with unanimous agreement that their children enjoy school. This is an extremely impressive outcome, as many pupils in the school had very unsettled, and often unhappy, experiences of education prior to joining the school.”
