Valuing the present, preparing for the future and learning for life.
Our Vision, Ethos and Values
Sandside Lodge is a place where all students feel safe, secure and cared for. We follow the Thrive Approach and trauma informed practices to highlight gaps in emotional development which in turn supports learning and encourages new pathways in the brain.
We recognise that students need to be regulated and ready to learn, offering a wide range of well being strategies and support.
We value individuality and create an environment where our wonderful students thrive and flourish.
With our new build (2019) we are able to offer a bespoke curriculum for the students based on their individual needs.
