Ofsted comments:

“All of the children attend the on-site school and their attendance is good. The regular meetings between residential staff, school staff and the therapist ensure that there is a coordinated approach to the children’s education. As a result, children make good progress in this area of their development.”

“Children benefit from individual incentives and a restorative approach to help them to manage their own behaviour. This means that children learn how to better resolve their frustrations and anxieties. Consequently, there has been no use of physical restraint, no missing from home incidents and no complaints since the last inspection.”
