In 2020, we were delighted to see the official opening of Bright<br />
Futures School for autistic children, which we funded after finding<br />
out that the school needed a new home. It’s a fantastic place with<br />
such amazing children and supportive staff, and an real honour to<br />
be involved with.<br />
Bright Futures was founded in 2010 by Zoe Thompson and her<br />
late husband Dixon Milburn, as an independent school dedicated<br />
to helping children with autism from ages five up to 16.<br />
<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Scott</strong> invested over £1m in the build of the new 4,000sq ft<br />
school, which comprises 14 classrooms for one-to-one education,<br />
sensory and medical rooms, kitchen and dining areas, a reception<br />
area, staff room, outdoor space and on-site parking.<br />
Zoe Thompson, founder of Bright Futures School, said: “It just<br />
feels right, words cannot describe how happy and grateful we feel<br />
at the moment. It will make a huge difference to our pupils and<br />
staff to be in such a lovely and picturesque setting in a bespoke<br />
building designed to provide a classroom for every pupil.”
