Bladon House School is an independent special school belonging to the Honormead Group of Special Schools. At Bladon House School we are committed to accepting pupils with speech and communication needs and moderate learning difficulties. A recent Ofsted Inspection (June 96) gave a satisfactory report stating that value was given for money.
Total emphasis is placed on developing the child's functional communication, social and independence skills and the maintenance of academic progress according to the intellectual potential of the pupil.
The schools supports the entitlement of pupils to a broad and balanced curriculum which is able to take account of individual needs. The National Curriculum is incorporated into the school curriculum and pupils are allowed to develop through the curriculum at their own pace.
Bladon House provides a caring, interesting and happy environment in which the child can benefit from the intensive and specialist help available. It comprises three sites:
BLADON HOUSE residential accommodation for 5 - 14 year olds. Schooling for Key Stages I-IV.
CALDWELL HALL. 1) Post 16 accommodation for the insecure adolescent. 2) Child Development and Assessment Centre.
MITCHELLS. An independence training facility for 16 - 19 year olds based within a residential area of Burton-on-Trent.
Bladon House School has a well established reputation for responding to the individual needs of the children in its care. Each child has a unique balance of needs and therefore will need different levels of input from the various disciplines we have.
Careful team planning leads to imaginative teaching and therapy and the presentation of opportunities to learn in all school settings.
Parents and families are highly valued. Effective partnerships exist to promote mutual understanding and respect, open consultation and communication.
The school aims to provide a learning environment that is welcoming, safe and stimulating in order to promote the highest levels of achievement for each child.
All children integrate within the wide community. Hence many of the practical experiences are allied to the real world. Many children establish links with youth organisations and clubs.
The school responds to the changing needs of growing children by offering opportunities to develop personal, social and life skills, leading to a high level of independence.
