Our Senior Leadership Team and staff

“Hello and Welcome to Remarkable, I’m Robin Bush, the CEO.

I came to Remarkable (formerly known as Wargrave House Ltd) in September 2019 and have spent the first couple of years supporting the organisation to rebuild its infrastructure and build some solid foundations for future growth and development. My 30 year career started as a support worker at a residential special school in Devon.

From then I moved around a bit, developing the Isle of Man’s first autism services, establishing supported living accommodation across the North West and more recently leading a regional Autism Charity employing over 1000 staff.

I have been privileged to lead some exciting regional, national and international projects designed to improve the lived experiences of people on the autism spectrum.

These have included advising the Government on the autism bill, speaking at Parliament to change hate crime legislation, developing Liverpool as an autism friendly city and establishing an international research project using bio-metric technology.

Remarkable Autism Ltd, through Wargrave House School and Ascent College, has a long history of supporting people to reach their potential.

Together we will be able to continue this good work, ensuring that everyone with autism is supported to understand and thrive in their world and that the world is able to understand autism.”

“I am passionate about ensuring our students and learners have access to the very best educational facilities, experiences and life opportunities. I bring over 30 years of experience working in education, across schools, local authorities, a Trust and now serving as Head of Business Resources at Remarkable Autism Ltd.”

As a qualified CIPFA accountant with a Masters in Management, bringing both strategic insight and practical expertise to my role. My priority is delivering seamless, high quality support services across our wonderful organisation, enabling our educators, therapists and support staff to focus on what they do best – providing world leading services. Above all, I strive to be a resourceful, approachable and solution-focused colleague, always looking for ways to help our dedicated workforce and community succeed.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, walking my two dachshunds (Frankie and Bennie) practising yoga, gardening and catching up with friends.”

“Hi, I’m Susie, Head of Therapy Services at Sundial therapy, part of the Remarkable Autism group. I joined Remarkable back in July 2023 to head up their therapy team consisting of Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, therapy dog and therapy assistants. 

Prior to joining Remarkable I worked in a range of settings for children and young adults as an Occupational Therapist, Sensory Integration Practitioner and Autism Specialist. I have experience of introducing therapeutic practice into other services and support the joining up of work to achieve the best outcomes for service users.

At Remarkable I aim to develop a service that will allow both staff and the young people to achieve their full potential through the delivery of training for staff, direct 1:1 and group therapy for students and learners and the embedding of strategies and approaches to support the young people within the classroom and beyond. We aim to be the world leading provider of therapy for autistic individuals and explore how we can share our wealth of skills, knowledge and experience within the organisation as well as with families and the wider community.“

In my down time I enjoy baking, singing, dancing and getting out for a good walk. I often link my walking to fundraising for various charities, completing the Sandstone Trail in a day, every other year, alongside other events. I am part of Sale Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Society and will also sing at various family and friends special events such as weddings.“

“Hello I am Carl headteacher of Wargrave House School, part of the Remarkable organisation. I have a wide range of experience in teaching working closely with autism and studying autism at postgraduate level.  

I am highly motivated to provide our learners with every opportunity to excel in life in a way that is meaningful to them. I aim to empower my staff community to deliver a curriculum that is innovative and creates young people who are independent and self reliant.

When I am not working I like to walk in the Lake District and am never happier than up in the mountains. I also have a passion for motorbikes and love to ride, race and follow British Superbikes Bikes across the country.“

“Hi, I’m Kate Wellock, PA to Executive Office/Clerk here at Remarkable.  I joined the remarkable mission in January 2021 and have thoroughly enjoyed becoming part of this incredible Charity. 

My 25 Year career started training to become a primary school teacher, with a passion for how important education is for everyone.  From there came a slight left turn into a Business and Marketing Degree and learning more about the world of business. 

I have been so lucky to have worked in a variety of educational institutions from work based learning through to post 16 education and now into the world of Autism Specialist Education.

So blessed to have a wonderful family and spend every minute I can with them by the sea.”
