We aim to provide an effective and inspiring education which allows each child to catch up with their mainstream peers, develop an enjoyment of learning and achieve their potential.

Most of the young people have experienced severe disruption in their educational progress. Some have never been able to manage formal schooling and most will have a Statement of Educational Needs. Our therapeutic approach enables all to achieve and experience success, often for the first time, so building confidence and self-esteem; those who are with us for two years or more experience exceptional outcomes.

Therapeutic education considers and addresses emotional and cognitive development together, and in stages tailor-made to the needs of the whole child. Such young people need an integrated, seamless, containing experience across all aspects of their lives, and our integrated approach delivers this. We think together at all times about the particular emotional and cognitive needs of each child and young person.

Specialist educational psychologists consult to us, to help diagnose and address specific learning difficulties.
