Residential Care

...Students thrive in the boarding provision. They make exceptional progress and have opportunities to make their ‘mark’ in the world, giving them a sense of worth and meaning...

In January 2024, our Residential Provision was inspected by Ofsted under the Social Care Common Inspection Framework (SCCIF) and received an overall judgment of ‘Outstanding’.

The residential provision provides places for pupils between the ages of 10 and 20. The school offers residential placements from Monday to Thursday during term time.

We aim to ensure that every young person fulfils their potential; our care and support is student focused and a suitably qualified staff team delivers high quality support in an environment that is stimulating, nurturing and homely; which promotes social, emotional, and academic development.

Residential staff work closely with education and therapeutic staff to ensure a cohesive and consistent approach. Each student is allocated a key worker who will work with the student to identify areas of need, to design and deliver individual care plans that will support the students achieve their personal goals/objectives.

Residential students are encouraged to undertake activities as part of a group or individually. The residential students have access to the school facilities during the evening including the school gym, sports hall, swimming pool and tennis courts; there is also a purpose-built Youth Club which has a pool table, PCs, cinema screen, TV, and games consoles.

Off-site activities vary but may include go-karting, cinema, theatre, clubs/classes (e.g., scouts, cadets, dance, etc.). We have also hosted “Graffiti” workshops and bush craft workshops on-site. We are proud of our residential provision and those students who are fortunate enough to access it, really enjoy it and progress well.
