Welcome to Harry Watts Academy

Harry Watts Academy is a special school providing education for children aged 5-16 based in the city of Sunderland. It is due to open in September 2020 with 8 pupils, growing to 96 pupils by September 2022. Harry Watts Academy is part of Prosper Learning Trust.

The curriculum at Harry Watts Academy is based on the understanding that each child and young person with autism may see the world and learn in a very different way. We therefore have a commitment to personalise the curriculum to the unique qualities and needs of each pupil, and a teaching and learning approach that is flexible and informed by specialist knowledge of the strengths and difficulties associated with autism in general.
