Support services provided
The school’s designated team reflects the needs of the children and young people that learn with us, however additional support can also be accessed from other specialists within the wider Clinical Team. This enables us to be responsive to any newly identified, time limited or changing needs of a child or young person throughout their placement with us.
Our evidence informed models are based on best practice guidance and are governed through the Outcomes First Governance Framework.

The curriculum is provided in a structured and supportive environment and is planned to meet the personal, academic and pastoral needs of the pupils at each stage of their schooling. In order to support access to the curriculum, education staff work alongside clinicians in order to understand and respond therapeutically to the children and young people living and learning with us.
Glebedale School offers an education which exposes pupils to a broad, balanced, differentiated and relevant curriculum, presents them with challenges in which creativity is fostered and which is based on the essential elements of the National Curriculum.
The School delivers a structured programme of education, tailored to each pupil’s individual needs and taking into account their Education Health Care Plan/Statement of Special Educational Needs. Where appropriate, pupils receive targeted personalised interventions both academic and/or therapeutic.

Glebedale School takes a multi-disciplinary and person-centred approach to the delivery of education and professional/clinical services, enabling students to develop their life skills as well as progress academically.
