On Amber Lodge, our school sessions are part of a multidisciplinary assessment and therapeutic programme. We assess children’s academic ability, observe their behaviour and interactions, and seek to understand more about the underlying reasons for their presentation within an educational setting. Within a nurturing environment, we help them to feel safe and valued, manage their emotions and behaviour, and develop their social skills. Assessments are shared with relevant professionals and families and are used to craft detailed support plans. School sessions at Amber Lodge are mostly structured around English, Maths and Science, with lots of practical and hands-on activities. Content is created, adapted and carefully matched to each individual and their needs.
