The New Eccles Hall School
Special needs catered for
The New Eccles Hall School helps young people who have found learning difficult in other mainstream environments. Pupils thrive in this small school which is set in beautiful grounds with small classes, dedicated teachers and additional therapies. Study programmes are based upon the national curriculum and complemented by one-to-one and specialised support as required, allowing pupils to realise their individual potential.
Expectations are high; pupils are nurtured and guided, developing important life skills. Extra-curricular opportunities are varied (yoga, judo, horse-riding, climbing wall) and numerous and include the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and International trips.
Specialist facilities
The school has an Individual Teaching Unit which is central to tailoring each young person’s personal curriculum, providing specialist support for those with SEN. The Tardis, an extension of the Individual Teaching Unit, caters for those who require a higher degree of support in developing their literacy and numeracy skills. Pupils receive teaching on an individual basis and in small groups. Our new Therapies Pod offers play and art therapy, brain-friendly learning and personal development coach and a sensory room.
Support services provided
We consider it vitally important that parents understand fully the potential of their son or daughter. We offer an assessment service which is carried out on site and where parents may consult with specialist educational psychologists, speech and language teachers and other therapists by appointment.
The New Eccles Hall School sets out to provide a safe, supportive and caring environment through a comprehensive system of pastoral care for each and every pupil from the moment they arrive in the school through to the end of their time with us and beyond if necessary.
Home school links
The New Eccles Hall School has the resources to ensure a caring and supportive teaching and learning environment for all pupils whilst maintaining the full, balanced National Curriculum for Key Stages 1 to 4 (age 4 to 16) and Sixth Form. Two full academic reports are sent to parents each year. A formal parent-teacher meeting for each year group is arranged annually. In addition the Headmaster and staff are always happy to see parents at other times by arrangement. Pupils in their first term in the school receive an interim report at the first half-term giving details of our first impressions. Parents/Carers have 24/7 access to confidential information.

Aims and philosophy
The aim of The New Eccles Hall School is to help all pupils develop effective work habits and encourage good manners, respect for the environment and for each other. In essence, individual education for the whole person.
We promote independence both in learning and living and support pupils’ social, as much as their academic development.
“The quality of the pupils’ personal development is excellent, reflecting their response to the teaching methods and the vibrant and flexible curriculum, through which the school’s aims are comprehensively fulfilled” Independent Schools Inspectorate 2014 Section 2.2
