About
An independent standard, not a consultancy brand
Neurodivergent Excellence gives premium international schools an independent, evidence-based standard for neurodivergent provision, staff equality and whole-school wellbeing.
Why this exists
Neurodivergent students are already in every school, whether or not they have been identified. Inclusive systems — for students and for staff — benefit the whole institution, from school culture to parent confidence. Neurodivergent Excellence exists to make that standard demonstrable, not assumed.
The Neurodivergent Excellence Framework™
Every audit and certification decision is made against a documented UK framework covering six domains, from student provision through to leadership, staff equality and parent partnership.
