Welcome to Limpsfield Grange School
At Limpsfield Grange we believe that “together we make a difference.”
Limpsfield Grange School is the UK’s only school solely for autistic girls. We are an outstanding special school, maintained by Surrey County Council, where day and residential places are available for students aged 11 – 16.
We offer a broad and balanced, challenging and relevant curriculum rooted in the National Curriculum, delivered by our experienced and dedicated staff team. Our aim is to fully prepare our students for successful lives beyond Limpsfield Grange.
Based on our expertise, we have developed a boundaried and adult led approach which enables our learners to thrive. We believe that building positive relationships based on a deep understanding of individual needs is key to a successful placement at Limpsfield Grange.
From Year 7, students are expected to work and navigate the school environment independently. Our classes are smaller than those of mainstream schools, and we provide teaching assistant support in most of our lessons.
Our broad staff team comprises of teachers, teaching assistants, residential and support staff all with high levels of expertise in autism and girls and in meeting the needs of our students.
The Limpsfield Grange community is an inclusive and welcoming place, where students build lifelong friendships and develop skills that will enable them to be happy, healthy citizens who contribute to society.
At Limpsfield Grange students and staff really do work together to make a difference.
I hope you find the website helpful, and I look forward to hearing from you.

News from Limpsfield Grange School
We’re incredibly proud that our Headteacher, Sarah Wild, was recently invited to participate virtually in a landmark international gathering hosted by Yale University in the USA, putting Limpsfield Grange firmly on the international stage and bringing our specialist knowledge and experience of supporting autistic girls to a worldwide conversation.
This important event brought together leading autism researchers, clinicians, advocates and those with lived experience, all united by a shared commitment to improving understanding and opportunities for autistic girls and women.
Historically autism research has focused predominantly on boys and men, leaving significant gaps in our understanding of how autism presents in girls and women. This important meeting explored the challenges surrounding diagnosis, masking, mental health and the need for research that better reflects the experiences of autistic girls and women.
A very special thank you to Matthew Hillman Fisher, President of the Matthew Hillman Fisher Foundation, whose passion for advancing research and understanding of autism in girls and women is inspired by his own family’s experiences. We’re extremely grateful to Matthew for personally inviting Sarah to participate in this landmark event.
It was a privilege to be included in such an important international conversation, bringing together expertise, research and lived experience to help shape a better future for autistic girls and women everywhere.
