Discover how Brentford School for Girls is celebrating Autism Awareness Month this April 2026, promoting inclusion and support through its dedicated Autism Centre.

For parents at Brentford School for Girls, knowing their child is supported is just as important as academic progress. During Autism Awareness Month, the school puts extra effort into ensuring that every student, including those who are neurodiverse, feels valued and part of the community. Activities and discussions this April highlight the school’s commitment to kindness, respect, and inclusion, giving all pupils the chance to build confidence, empathy, and strong friendships.

Frances Dutton, ASD Centre Lead, shares: “Autism Awareness Month provides us all with the opportunity to learn from one another and to recognise the strengths that neurodiverse pupils bring. It’s about understanding and kindness—two values we greatly cherish at Brentford School for Girls.”

The Brentford School for Girls Autism Centre plays a central role in supporting neurodiverse students, offering a calm, welcoming space and personalised assistance so every child can thrive. The Centre works closely with pupils and families, ensuring each girl has the tools and encouragement she needs for success, both academically and personally.

The school also makes sure staff are trained and ready to support all learners. Simple adjustments in lessons, like clear instructions and quiet spaces, help every child feel comfortable. By openly teaching about autism and championing empathy, Brentford School for Girls ensures pupils feel included and empowered to be themselves.

Looking ahead, parents can be sure that Brentford School for Girls will continue to nurture understanding and acceptance, not just in April, but every day. The school’s focus on kindness, respect, and inclusion means every student is supported and celebrated for who they are.
