Andrew and his team created, designed and built the UK’s first secure school with a therapeutic and integrated model of education, health and care at the heart of their programme.

We use the arts as a tool to enable students to grow their personal development, cognitive and communication skills, and to achieve an overall sense of self-worth, pride, and confidence. All students choose a major subject to focus on when they join, and this currently includes drama, dance, music, creative arts, or film and media.

🚌 The students have been doing some excellent forward planning for their Independence trips!
Once plans were finalised, they made their way to the nearest bus stops from the centre, used the maps and timetables at the stop to figure out which buses they needed to catch, and bought their tickets independently.
Putting these steps into regular practice during their time at Orpheus means the students can continue to build up their confidence when travelling out and about 😊 ... See MoreSee Less
