ABA Specialist School for Children with Autism in London
Individualised education and therapy for children using evidence-based ABA.
Specialist ABA primary school in London for children aged 3–11 with autism who need structured, highly individualised support.
We provide structured, evidence-based education using Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), delivered through consistent one-to-one teaching tailored to each child.
Children develop communication, independence, and academic readiness while reducing behaviours that impact learning.
Our specialised curriculum is aligned with the UK National Curriculum (EYFS and KS1/2), delivered by an experienced team combining educational and behavioural expertise.
Is your child not getting the support they need?
Many families come to us when they feel their child with autism can make progress, even after mainstream and sometimes specialist schools have struggled to meet their needs.
You might recognise some of these challenges:
- Difficulty with language, communication, or social skills
- Difficulty following instructions or routines
- Challenging behaviours at home or school
- Little progress despite interventions
- Need for highly individualised support
Why the right support matters
- Without the right support, these challenges can intensify over time
- The right approach unlocks potential many didn’t know existed
- Every child can learn when taught in the right way
You are not alone — and with the right support, you can make a life-changing difference.

Why Families Choose Blooming Tree
We provide comprehensive support tailored to each child's unique needs
1:1 Individual Support
Every child benefits from full one-to-one support throughout the day, allowing teaching to be adapted in real time to their needs, communication style, and pace of learning.
This level of individual attention helps children feel more secure, reduces overwhelm, and supports steady, meaningful progress.
ABA-Based Programmes
Our teaching is based on Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), an evidence-based approach that breaks learning into clear, achievable steps.
Skills are taught in a structured and supportive way, helping children build communication, independence, and confidence over time.
BCBA Clinical Oversight
All programmes are overseen by fully employed BCBA consultants, each working with a limited number of children to ensure close monitoring and individualised support.
This allows for regular programme adjustments, consistent guidance for staff, and a clear focus on meaningful progress.
Small Class Sizes
We provide a calm, structured environment with small group sizes to reduce overwhelm and support focus.
This helps children feel more comfortable, better understand expectations, and engage more successfully in learning.
Life Skills Focus
We prioritise skills that make a real difference in everyday life, including communication, independence, and social understanding.
Our goal is to help children apply what they learn beyond the classroom, supporting greater confidence at home and in the community.

What is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is a scientifically proven approach that helps children with autism learn new skills and reduce behaviours that may limit progress.
It focuses on understanding behaviour, teaching skills step-by-step, and reinforcing positive progress.
ABA is used in a personalised, compassionate way to help each child build meaningful skills for school and everyday life.
What Parents Say
“Our child made more progress in a few months than we had seen in years. The difference in communication, confidence, and overall happiness has been incredible. Before joining, we felt stuck and unsure what the right support looked like. The structure, consistency, and individual attention here have completely changed things for our family.”
“The structure, warmth, and expertise changed everything for our family. For the first time, we felt truly understood and supported. The team takes the time to understand each child properly, and the progress we’ve seen in behaviour, communication, and independence has been consistent and meaningful.”
“Finally, a school that truly understands autism and what our child needs. Everything is structured, thoughtful, and personalised. We’ve seen improvements not just in learning, but in everyday life — routines, communication, and confidence at home.”
We Support the Whole Family
We work closely with parents and carers so that support is consistent between school and home.

Because meaningful progress happens best when everyone works together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age do you support?
We support children aged 3 to 11 years, covering both early years and primary school.
Every child is different, so we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Some children need help with early communication and routines, while others are working on independence, social skills, or learning.
Our focus is always on meeting your child where they are now, and helping them move forward step by step.
Do you accept EHCP funding?
Yes, we support children with EHCP-funded placements, as well as private placements where appropriate.
We work closely with families, local authorities, and professionals throughout the process — from initial enquiry through to assessment and placement decisions.
Our team can also help guide you through the EHCP process if you are at an earlier stage and unsure how to proceed.
Is ABA effective for autism?
ABA is a well-established approach that helps children learn skills in a clear, structured, and supportive way.
At Blooming Tree, it’s not about rigid teaching — it’s about understanding your child, breaking learning into manageable steps, and helping them succeed through positive, consistent support.
Families often tell us they start to see changes in communication, behaviour, confidence, and everyday independence.
The goal is always to help your child build skills that make a real difference in daily life.
How do I apply?
The first step is simply to get in touch with us.
We’ll take the time to understand your child, your concerns, and what you’re looking for. From there, we guide you through a clear and supportive process.
What makes your school different from mainstream settings?
Many families come to us because their child is finding mainstream school overwhelming or isn’t getting the level of support they need.
Our setting is designed to be calm and structured, highly individualised, and consistent and predictable.
With smaller groups and more focused support, children are better able to understand what’s expected, feel more secure, and make steady progress.
Will my child receive one-to-one support?
Yes — all children at Blooming Tree receive 1:1 support as part of their programme.
This means your child has consistent, individualised teaching throughout the day, allowing us to fully understand how they learn, communicate, and respond to different situations.
In addition, our programmes are overseen by fully employed BCBA consultants, each of whom works with a limited number of children.
How do you measure progress?
Progress is tracked using data-driven and ongoing assessment methods.
We regularly monitor communication skills, behaviour and engagement, independence and daily living skills, and academic learning.
Programmes are continuously reviewed and adjusted to ensure each child is making meaningful, measurable progress over time.
