Residential Department

We have six purpose built residential bungalows in an idyllic setting within the school site catering for the special needs of our pupils. The Head of Care has overall responsibility for boarding and care across the site and each bungalow is headed by a Residential Team Manager who ensures their smooth running. 

The bungalows are spacious, comfortable and well adapted to suit pupils’ needs. There are double and single bedrooms which are personalised to the pupil’s taste and interests, and suitably furnished to provide a pleasant, homely room. A door from each bedroom leads to a spacious bath which is then shared between two rooms. These have overhead hoists and sufficient space to enable assistance and support for the pupil as needed. There is a substantial open plan lounge/dining area for the young people to socialise and relax and a kitchen attached to each lounge where students and staff can enjoy a range of home cooked meals. Each room in the bungalow is linked by an overhead hoist circuit that enables access for those with limited mobility to most areas. As a result all pupils can share in activities and enjoy the facilities provided.

"Placing authorities and families confirm that they are very happy with the care that is provided at the home. Comments from them include, `the care is excellent, young people are looked after very well' and 'no-one is able to care for their child like parents. This provision comes a very close second!' Young people also give the provision a resounding 'thumbs up'."  (Ofsted Children's Care Home report – October 2011)
