Treloar's is a charity that provides outstanding education, therapy and care to physically disabled young people, and empowers them to live more independent and fulfilling lives.
We support around 180 children and young people, aged 4 to 25 years, who come from across the country to attend our school and college. All of our students are physically disabled, many with complex clinical needs and a sensory impairment. We provide a fully inclusive, supportive environment where young people can learn whilst having therapy and care integrated into their tailored programme.
Mainstream settings and most specialist schools and colleges aren't able to support the complex clinical needs of our students. Therefore, for most, we are one of the very few places, if not the only place in the country where they can access education and achieve outstanding outcomes.
We have 6 residential houses on our site, providing placements for students from age 11 upwards. Our residential provision offers huge opportunities to develop independent living skills and enjoy a social life beyond the school and college day. This, in turn, enables our students to experience greater independence and develop confidence working alongside trained support staff and engaging with their peers.
Uniquely, we are rated as "Outstanding" across the board with 4 regulators. This includes Ofsted who, in three separate inspections, have graded us "Outstanding" for our school education, college education and social care provision. Additionally, the Care Quality Commission have rated our college residential and clinical services as "Outstanding".
We also offer a range of services, beyond the Campus, to the wider disabled community including residential flats for physically disabled young adults and specialist training for those who support them. Additionally, we hire out our campus facilities to local sports and activity groups and to other disability charities for residential stays during the holidays.
Entry Requirement
There are lots of ways you can apply to Treloar's. Generally young people or their families contact us directly. Alternatively, a referral can be made by health and social care professionals, including social workers, transition workers and GPs. A student assessment will include consideration of education, medical, therapy and care staff needs. Each student's programme is constructed to ensure their individual needs are met.
