Arbour Vale house is a new exciting adventure for Arbour Vale School. We are lucky to have a brand new building which is detached from the main school. The provision can cater for a maximum 12 students with ASD and /or communication and challenging behaviour from Monday evening until Friday Morning. Students can board full or part time during this period.
The aim of residential care at Arbour Vale School is to provide a positive, caring environment that promotes the development of the whole child.
Emphasis is given to supporting the pupils’ acquisition of social and life skills, the development of recreational and leisure skills, and skills to access group work and community involvement. Input is always dependent upon age, ability and individual needs.
Residential staff work closely with the school to provide an extended education curriculum and consistency in approach throughout the child's school life.
The accommodation is purpose built and comprises of twelve individual bedrooms, two lounges, games room, ICT facilities, ‘chill-out’ area, central dining rooms and two group kitchens. The residents will also have access to school recreational facilities during the evening.
