The Fusion Academy is for young people with autism and/ or communication and interaction needs who do not have a learning disability. The school opened in September 2020 as part of the Multi Academy Trust, Open Thinking Partnership.

The Fusion Academy is not set up for young people with cognition and learning needs. It is designed for young people who, despite their difficulties around communication and interaction, have the potential to learn at an age appropriate level and will be looking to access qualifications and potential employment in the future.

The Fusion Academy merges the skills, expertise and understanding of a highly specialist provision with the breadth and opportunities available in a mainstream school. This union allows our students to have the best possible chance at reaching their academic goals in an environment where they feel safe, understood and listened to, in addition to having their wider needs met.

We would like your help to provide specialist equipment such as sensory aids & communication equipment to every pupil that needs them.
