‘The school makes good use of the local community and outdoor environment to maximize learning experiences. The close working of education and care staff helps to provide for the comprehensive extended curriculum of the school. This work is evidenced well through ASDAN accreditation.’

We provide 52 week, 38 week and 39-51 week residential care with education to children and young people with severe learning disabilities and challenging behaviour. The school has a 24 hour curriculum that aims to:

• Bring about a reduction in challenging behaviour
• Increase levels of functional communication
• Increase levels of self care and independent living skills
• Increase opportunities for community participation and social integration
• Where appropriate reduce the levels of psychotropic medication

We use evidence -based practices, which have been rigorously evaluated in scientific literature to show an improvement to the psychological well- being, independence and educational ability of young people.

We develop education, care and behavioural management programmes for each student, which follow these evidence- based practice models, therefore enabling us to demonstrate our students achievements.

In addition, we are a leader in conducting and publishing clinical research that evaluates the effectiveness of the innovative programmes we run.
