Specialist Support

Medical services

Every student is registered with the local GP, Dr Bradley, who has worked with the school for 20 years and therefore has a good understanding of our students and their needs. Our students are also able to access a local Dentist, Community Paediatrician, Community Nurse, Health Visitor, Community Dietician, Speech and Language Therapist and Community Physiotherapist. In addition, student’s optical needs are met by the school.

Consultant Clinical Psychologist

We retain the services of Professor F.C. Mace who visits the school 20 days per year and provides a 24 hour on call service. His main role is to carry out functional behaviour assessments and develop behaviour management plans for our students as well as advising staff on how to support students through their plan.

Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist

We retain the services of Dr T Dyer who visits the school once a month and provides a 24 hour on call service. He ensures all the mental health needs of our students are met and that prescriptions for Psychotropic Medication are reviewed regularly.

Advocacy Service
