Arun Court School

Our very special school
We specialise in supporting young people who do not have a typical diagnosis on their EHCP. We are a very small, nurturing setting that blends learning opportunity with intensive support in maintaining positive mental health as well as developing social and life skills.

Our young people may have a primary diagnosis of ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia alongside acute anxiety or phobia needs. We also cater for the very small number of young people whose EHCP is awarded primarily under the ‘H’ as they have suffered significant trauma. We do not take physical needs.

We operate more akin to a hospital school or tier 4 mental health unit, and the setting is very relaxed with different areas and levels of support depending on where young people are in their journey. We use our beautiful local area every day as we believe that nature and being out in nature heals. Meditation, massage, mindfulness, coaching & yoga are on offer throughout each school day. There is a great deal of negotiated learning and options, rather than set tasks.
