Welcome to our specialist education and care services in Devon and Cornwall. Through our network of schools and associated children’s homes, we combine experience with expertise to support children and young people aged 7-19 years old with a range of needs. This includes an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs, learning difficulties and associated complex needs.
Equipping young people with a brighter future
Our aim is to make a difference to the lives of the children and young people that we support, working in partnership with families and Local Authorities to achieve the best possible outcomes. We provide high quality education, therapy and care services in safe and nurturing environments, taking full account of national standards and quality indicators.
The children and young people are placed at the heart of everything that we do. They are supported by a highly motivated, reflective and engaged staff team, underpinned by evidence-based practice, recognised strategies and approaches.
