We are a specialist independent day school, with an 'Outstanding' rate from Ofsted November 2023, based near Euston, London for children with speech, language and communication difficulties. We currently have children aged 3 to 10 years, however we are going to grow our provision with the children throughout the primary phase. Our school has a unique atmosphere created by its totally dedicated, highly professional and caring staff. We acknowledge specific strengths and support individual weaknesses, so that each child “blossoms” and has the opportunity to fulfil his or her potential.

We hope that our website will give you a flavour of Blossom House. If you would like more information about us or about our assessment process, please don’t hesitate to call the school.

After many years’ experience as a Speech and Language therapist, I opened our first language-centred nursery group in 1989. It was run on the philosophy that children need both ‘language to learn’ and ‘to learn language’ through exposure to a range of experiences that enable them to master other skills.

In 1993 Blossom House extended its original brief and we started to provide full-time education for those children who continue to require an integrated programme of learning in a caring and highly supportive environment. Self-esteem and confidence are crucial to success and many of our children arrive at Blossom House with a very poor self-image and little belief in any ability they do have.

Blossom House has a unique atmosphere created by a totally dedicated, highly competent and wonderfully caring staff. We acknowledge specific strengths and support individual weaknesses, so that each child “blossoms” and has the opportunity to fulfil his or her potential.
