school

We have two permanent teachers and a range of tutors and language assistants who provide one to one tutoring for children who require it.

Tony Andrews,
our headmaster, is a very experienced special needs teacher. Tony liaises with the children’s own school or college and ensures that work is sent, prepared and returned to the appropriate person so that the children do not fall behind with their studies. Rhodes Farm is an examination centre. Every year children sit their GCSE’s and "A" levels with us. We understand how important schoolwork is to the majority of our patients and we do all that we can to see that we do not add to their problems by failing to keep them up-to-date with their academic studies.

From the final 2-3 weeks of their stay, we arrange for our patients to return to their own school for 2 days each week so that we can help them cope with the transition.

Our school day is from 09:00am to 3:30pm. The school is well equipped with computers and books. We also visit the local library every week and make frequent trips to sites of interest in order to support learning in the classroom.
