SEN statement

Provided by the school and not part of our review

The children and young people at Alderwasley Hall School have difficulties with speech, language and communication. A large percentage of students are on the autistic spectrum (including Aspergers) and a small number have associated behavioural difficulties. The school offers small classes, a high ratio of speech and language therapists to students, and also offers occupational therapy provision. We can offer a range of flexible placement options to children and young people from across the UK, including: 52 week residential (full residential care, our sites are registered as children's homes); 38 week residential; part-time residential care 39 to 51 weeks – where there is a need to provide additional residential support to meet the needs of the young person and their family; and day placements.
