“Swalcliffe Park School is a specialist residential and day school in Oxfordshire for boys aged 11–19 who have needs arising from their Autistic Spectrum conditions.
In day and residential settings, the school emphasises the development of students’ communication, independence, self-management and personalised achievement, and many pupils have additional needs associated with other diagnoses; e.g. ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia or Specific Language Impairment.
We have a strong computing, media, and IT department, and a number of boys across key stages are interested in pursuing roles within the games development industry either in development or design. Beyond this we have many students interested in careers such as music production or graphic design, where they may not realise the opportunity exists within the sector and who would benefit from direct insight into the breadth of positions available.
We are looking for professionals within the industry who could help inspire and engage the next generation of games developers and designers – if any TIGA members would like to help us in this, please contact Joe O’Neill: joneill@swalcliffepark.co.uk.”
