About Us

Fieldstone School is an independent day school supporting some of the most vulnerable young people in society aged 5–16 students who may struggle to access mainstream education for a variety of reasons. These can include behavioural, emotional, or educational challenges, difficulties associated with the autistic spectrum, sensory processing disorders, attachment difficulties, or experiences of trauma.

We are committed to ensuring that every student reaches their full potential academically and personally. As a day school, we provide an alternative to residential education, helping students develop independence, social skills, and resilience while remaining in their home environment.

Fieldstone School operates in line with Devon County Council’s Section 175 safeguarding requirements, demonstrating our commitment to the safety and welfare of all students.

At Outcomes First Schools, we provide specialist education for learners who need a deeper level of understanding, expertise and support than mainstream education can typically offer. We support students with a wide range of complex, co-occurring and neurodivergent needs, including autism, ADHD, SEMH, speech and communication needs, dyslexia and experiences of trauma or adversity.

We are proud to be a part of OFG Education who in 2025 were officially certified as a ‘Great Place to Work’ for the sixth year running.
