We take a personalised approach to education

At Tadley Court School, we offer a tailored, therapeutic curriculum designed to meet the individual learning needs of our young people. We combine academic learning with practical skills, emotional support and personal development—helping every pupil grow in confidence and discover their strengths.

Our therapy and support services

At Tadley Court School, we offer 3 levels of provision: universal, targeted and specific. We have a multidisciplinary team of therapist who support each level.

  • Our universal offer embeds therapeutic practices across the entire school to support all pupils. There is a collaborative approach between education and therapy, and all teaching staff are trained in supporting neurodiverse children who have social communication differences.
  • Our targeted provision offer is designed to address specific areas of need as outlined in pupil EHCPs. This is provided directly as group sessions or indirectly as a programme delivered by trained teaching staff. This level of provision bridges the gap between universal practices and specialist intervention.
  • Our specialist interventions are delivered to meet complex and individualised needs and offers further bespoke support. This could include speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, play therapy and more.

Young people at Tadley Court School have access to a wide range of specialist therapists, on both a group and individual basis, including:

  • Speech and language therapist
  • Occupational therapist
  • Play therapist
  • Thrive practitioner
