Aims and philosophy
St Rose’s in Stroud, Gloucestershire, founded in 1912 by the impassioned vision of the Dominican Sisters, it is one of the first ever schools to offer education to children with disabilities. Christian values form the heart of the school however, we encourage children and young people to make their own choices in life and embrace children of all faiths and none.
Our young people are at the heart of everything we do. The teachers, support staff, care and therapy team are driven by an unfaltering belief that disability should not act as a barrier to living a full and meaningful life.
Staff qualification and selection
St Rose’s is an inspiring and rewarding place to work, with a happy, family atmosphere. We value our staff very highly. Their specialist skills and dedicated approach are vital to the highly individual education and care we offer to enable children and students to achieve their potential.
