A Message from our Headteacher

Welcome to The Lodge, a unique and nurturing educational environment created to support children with medical needs and severe mental health challenges. Our mission is to provide a safe, supportive space where every child is valued, understood, and empowered to thrive academically and emotionally.

At The Lodge, we understand that traditional education can sometimes be inaccessible for children who face significant health or mental health challenges. That’s why we offer a trauma-informed approach, prioritizing the well-being of each student. Our personalized learning pathways are designed to meet the individual needs of every child, helping them to regain confidence, find their passion for learning, and move forward in their educational journey.

Nurture

A warm, caring, and compassionate environment where each child is treated with respect and kindness.

Support

Tailored programs that are designed to help children overcome barriers to learning, and access the resources they need for personal growth.

Educate

Fostering a love for learning and providing high-quality, individualized education that empowers children to succeed.

We take a holistic approach to education, putting the child at the center of all our practices. Our staff are highly trained in trauma-informed methods, ensuring that we not only meet the academic needs of our students, but also provide the emotional and mental health support they deserve.
