Specialist facilities
Teaching methods vary dependent upon class group and individual need. Individual support and counselling is provided thorough an extensive key worker system. We define therapy as the management of change where all aspects of life, both residential and day, are geared towards bringing about positive change.
Support services provided
Each pupil has an individual education and care plan to meet their specific needs. Pupils on the autistic spectrum are integrated into age appropriate classes and taught with peers whose levels of attainment are within a similar band. Whilst not all pupils in that group may be diagnosed as having an autistic spectrum disorder, they will be diagnosed as having an emotional disorder and respond to the same stability, security, consistency and support from which pupils on the autistic spectrum benefit.
Home school links
Rossendale School believes in the principle of family involvement and a supportive partnership with families in the shared care of their children who attend the school. Home visits are part of a supportive network of care for our pupils and parents.
General environment
Residential settings provide a warm and caring environment, as well as structure and security, offering opportunities for learning and personal development.
Education
We provide a broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated curriculum aimed at meeting individual needs. We employ specialist subject teachers with a background of teaching their subject specialism to GCSE level in a mainstream school, and special support assistants whose main task is to meet individual needs.
Accommodation
Accommodation is within houses in a nearby small town. The residential accommodation is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) as a residential special school and is subject to inspection as required by the Care Standards Act 2000.
Aims and philosophy
We believe that ALL pupils are entitled to a positive education which allows them to experience success. We aim to bring about positive change by enabling pupils to understand their difficulties and learn how to manage them.
Awarded ‘Outstanding’ school by OFSTED for the past three years.
