MacIntyre Academies
Part of MacIntyre’s purpose is to make a positive contribution to the lives of children in need of support.
For Children and Young People
MacIntyre has been supporting children and young people to live, learn and thrive since we were founded in 1966.
MacIntyre offers highly specialist education for children and young people with learning disabilities and/or autism. Our facilities include a residential school in Buckinghamshire, community-based children’s homes and post-16 education programmes either direct with Local Authorities or in partnership with Further Education Colleges.
