kedleston (high peak school)
Uxbridge
Who We Are & Where We Are High Peak School is part of the Kedleston Group and
opened in 2014.Our specialist multi-disciplinary team of leaders, carers,
therapists and educationalists work seamlessly together. They teach and
proactively support pupils who have been subjected to adverse childhood
experiences, including trauma, toxic stress and associated mental wellbeing
difficulties, aiming to break the cycle of adversity. Children and young people
may also come to us because they are challenged by attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, and dyspraxia or moderate and specific
learning difficulties. We have a specific provision within the school called the
Quiet Learning Zone where we support children and young people who have an
autistic spectrum condition including Asperger’s syndrome and those who have
communication and sensory difficulties. The environment and teaching approaches
are bespoke and tailored to ensure our children and young people thrive and can
develop their self-esteem. We have extensive experience of supporting those with
attachment disorders or those who have been victims of abuse and neglect. We
actively encourage the development of life skills such as staying safe, acting
responsibly and being respectful whether that be at school, at home or in the
local community. From our beautiful rural location in Cheshire, we offer a
unique setting having been converted from a hotel to create innovative and
inspiring learning, social, recreational and living spaces.
