Governance
Gretton School is part of the Cavendish Education family of schools.
Cavendish Education is a family of day and boarding schools focused exclusively on enabling children and young people with unique learning profiles (including dyslexia, dyscalculia, autism and social communication needs) to be the very best they can be.
The schools in the Cavendish Group focus on an individual’s strengths, talents and interests. Each school has its own distinctive character, atmosphere and facilities, and they all provide a well-rounded, differentiated and skilfully-supported academic curriculum. Sport, the arts, outdoor education and life skills feature highly in enrichment activities.
Cavendish schools inspire children and young people to have:
● the confidence to be themselves,
● the competence to achieve,
● the creativity to shine, and
● the character to succeed.
Through our distinctive approach we deliver outstanding outcomes for our students.

The Climate Ambassadors programme is delivered by a consortium of 15 organisations. Eight universities and the Met Office host our regional hubs. Regional hubs support and connect volunteer Climate Ambassadors and education settings.
Regional hubs help education settings connect with each other and with other support including the National Education Nature Park, the Sustainability Support Service for Education and Let’s Go Zero Climate Action Advisors.
The programme supports the UK Government’s ambition for all education settings to have a climate action plan in place by 2025 – covering four key areas: decarbonisation; adaptation and resilience; biodiversity; and climate education and green careers.
