Specialist facilities
Sheridan School provides specialist education for boys and girls aged 10-16 who have social, emotional and behavioural difficulties with learning difficulties including autistic spectrum disorders. Many of the young people at Sheridan School may have experienced considerable disruption to their education as a result of their difficulties and may lack confidence in their own abilities. We aim to nurture and develop academic skills and self-belief through an integrated holistic approach centred on individual education, care and therapy. This is achieved through personalised multidisciplinary assessments and delivered through highly individual education and care programmes which are specific to each young person.
Accommodation is within houses in a nearby small town. The residential accommodation is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) as a residential special school and is subject to inspection as required by the Care Standards Act 2000.
Support services provided
Our experienced multidisciplinary team carefully design individual placement plans to enhance self-esteem and provide opportunities to gain an increased sense of self-worth. Pupils have access to a range of professional therapies including: child and adolescent psychiatry; educational psychology; behavioural, art, speech & language, occupational and family therapies.
Education
Education is seen as an integral part of an individual's placement plan, with each young person being helped to experience success. Education is provided on-site in our purpose-built school. Small teaching groups allow for a high level of specialist support, and experienced special needs teachers provide a broad and balanced curriculum with a wide range of National Curriculum work related to individual needs.
Aims and philosophy
Sheridan School aims to realise the five outcomes defined in Every Child Matters: to be healthy; to stay safe; to enjoy and achieve; to make a positive contribution; to achieve economic wellbeing. We provide an integrated, professional programme of quality residential care and education, which will enable young people to make a successful transition into adulthood with an acceptable set of personal qualities and values, allowing them to participate positively in society.
