Our philosophy is to create a nurturing environment, centred around a holistic approach, whereby young people are welcomed, accepted for who they are, and their educational needs are balanced with an understanding of their therapeutic requirements. Our intuitive staff are reflective practitioners who work collaboratively with the students’ families and external professionals, to ensure that our students make sustained progress and develop a resilience that will be their mainstay in their future lives.
