Schools Programme

This is a school-based Children’s Mental Health service which benefits the whole school community. Our multi-disciplinary team provides high-quality support to children and families affected by social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH), delivering flexible, timely and targeted interventions to improve emotional wellbeing and support children to thrive. We believe that early intervention improves the life chances of vulnerable children.

The Corner School

The Corner School is our own Independent Special School graded Good by Ofsted in 2022. We believe that every child can learn and enjoy a fulfilling school life, regardless of their social, emotional and mental health needs.

Our dedicated team of teachers, teaching assistants and therapists work together to develop personalised, dynamic support for each learner enabling them to grow in their own unique way.

We offer a safe and nurturing environment and the stability needed to gain an emotional balance and to develop their self-esteem and resilience.
