Support services provided

Each student is surrounded by a multi-disciplinary team, supporting their learning and emotional well-being with intensive speech and language therapy, specialist literacy intervention, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and psychotherapy. Students receive one-to-one and small group teaching and bespoke therapy, and have access to a range of activities to develop new skills and build friendships.

This enables students to reach their highest educational and communication potential, and also to develop much higher levels of independent living skills, self-expression, and self-esteem.

General environment

We provide a nurturing environment where experienced teams care for the educational, emotional and developmental needs of each student, preparing them for a safe, happy and fulfilling life.

Our residential community provides single room facilities within our beautiful Village; three newly built student houses, located around a communal square for relaxing after school.

The students frequently describe their house as a 'home from home' and their wellbeing is assured by their key workers, who look after students' emotional welfare and provide a range of therapeutic strategies after school in a happy, stimulating and caring environment.
