School Life
Our teaching staff take great pride in helping children re-engage with their education and inspiring them to discover the joy of learning and developing new skills.
Our developmentally sensitive curriculum ensures that every child makes the best possible progress in their education, whatever their starting point.
Home Life
Our residential accommodation consists of nine comfortable houses located next to the main school site or in countryside locations approximately one mile away from the school.
Each house accommodates 3 to 9 children and is designed to provide a safe, relaxing and nurturing family atmosphere.
