It was established in 2007 and aims to place an equal emphasis on the educational, social and psychological development of our students.

It offers fortnightly boarding provision although in practice, most return to their families weekly. The students are grouped into five residential houses with close regard to their chronological age, their social needs and their personal maturity. The main needs of pupils with SEN at the school are social, emotional and mental health difficulties and Autistic Spectrum Disorder.
