Questions families ask
What age children can attend the school?
Doucecroft School is for children and young people aged 3 to 19 with autism and additional complex needs. It is a specialist co-educational school.
Do they provide free autism and ADHD support for young people?
Yes. Free autism and ADHD support is available for young people aged 0 to 25 and their families in Colchester, North-East Essex, Norwich and Mid-Norfolk.
What does the Autism Alert Card do?
The Autism Alert Card shows that the holder has autism and can help police, emergency services and the public understand how to provide support in an emergency or when the holder feels anxious.
How much does Peldon Campus cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Peldon Campus for its weekly fee. As a guide, Essex council paid on average £2,407 a week for a residential care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,883 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
