Care

We have six houses, three at the main school site, two at Callow Park and a house based in Matlock. Each house is well furnished and provides a caring and homely environment. After careful assessment students are placed in the house relevant to their age and/or development. Each student then progresses through the houses, as appropriate to their individual need, age and ability.

We have a mixture of single and shared rooms, some with ensuite. Students are encouraged to personalise their own rooms. Each house also has a relaxing lounge, kitchen and a quite area for study.

All our houses have a House Manager and Deputy Manager who are assisted by a team of support workers. These Student support workers liaise with the Education and Therapy departments to ensure holistic care.

Each student is assigned a Key Care Worker who is responsible for their day to day welfare. They also have a weekly Care session in which to discuss any issues. The Key Care Worker remains in close contact with parents. Students’ religious beliefs are promoted and respected. On request student can be accompanied to their recognised place of worship.
