Your journey with us begins long before your child starts their first school day at Leith Hill. The profile of children we seek is specific and there is good reason to be selective. Our pupils have a range of needs that rule out both mainstream and specialist behavioural schools.
We work with you from the outset to learn your child’s situation and particular needs. Once we agree that Leith Hill is the appropriate choice we begin a careful process of transition. This includes multiple visits both online and in person for you and your child. We aim to ensure our pupils feel at home from day one.
Our Model
We value the partnerships we develop with local authorities and make great efforts to understand their needs. We seek to learn as much as we can about the children they are helping and are always open to dialogue.
We welcome parent visits and would be delighted to see you at one of our Open School Events
We place huge value on our relationship with the families of our children. We develop personal plans with every child and consult closely with parents at every step of the way.
