General environment
The Priory Lodge School is situated in the grounds of the Priory Hospital Roehampton, in new, purpose-built premises close to Richmond Park and only seven miles from Central London, allowing easy access from the A3, M2, M4, M25 and M40. Classrooms have been designed for specialist subjects including information technology, art, food technology, science and music, together with specially designed areas for therapy and time-out rooms. Set within the hospital grounds in the heart of Richmond, students have access to a wide range of activities and facilities including outdoor adventure, physical education, environmental, cultural and social. This provides students with the opportunity to gain a real-life learning experience, helping them make sense of the world they live in supported by the National Curriculum.
The urban environment of the Priory Lodge School plays an important part in the holistic experience of our young people. It is also uniquely placed to benefit from the breadth of therapy and specialist mental health services provided at the Priory Hospital Roehampton.
Education
The Priory Lodge School adopts a multidisciplinary approach to education using the best practice models such as TEACCH and active learning programmes. Students will learn how to develop effective compensatory strategies to overcome their difficulties in social and emotional processing, communication and flexibility in thinking and behaviour. All students have access to the National Curriculum, which is adapted and modified according to the individual needs and abilities of each student. Individual education plans (IEPs) are implemented to develop communication, personal and social education skills.
Aims and philosophy
Our aim is to bring about the best in every student to enable them to receive a positive educational experience and to progress according to their own individual skills and abilities. We offer a whole school approach to the curriculum. This provides structure and routine, a modified environment and learning processes, experienced and qualified staff and development in independence training, self-help, communication, social and leisure skills. Close family communication is encouraged to promote consistency in each young person’s personal development.
