Bramfield House School was established in 1970 as a specialist provision for
pupils with social, emotional, mental health, communication difficulties and
associated challenging behaviours. It is an all boys establishment catering for
an age range of 7-16 and is registered for 74 pupils. It is situated in rural
Suffolk 10 minutes drive from the heritage coast. The residential accommodation
consists of the main house sitting in 10 acres of gardens and 1 mile from the
centre of the village of Bramfield. The classroom facilities are independently
placed within the grounds and consist of purpose made specialist subject
provisions. Alongside the school site we provide a separate residential
accommodation called Ibstock House that caters for the further development of
pupil’s independence skills. This house has its own designated classroom and
gardens, approximately ¾ of an acre and can support up to 6 boarding pupils.
Both can access the numerous on-site resources on offer, including an indoor
heated swimming pool, gymnasium, multi-gym, pool tables and table tennis table,
full size sports pitches and outdoor adventure trail, amongst a host of other
in- house activities and interests. The ethos of the school is based on trust
and mutual respect, providing the opportunity for every individual to maximise
their own potential in a warm and caring environment. The pupils are supported
in discovering their personal attributes, and to then themselves acknowledge
these skills, building their confidence and self-esteem so that this can then be
transferred and used to develop and enhance all areas of their social and
educational development. The professional staff group engages with pupils to
explore new and varied environments and interests, using these opportunities to
build relationships and understanding, so that they may be better placed to
provide individually tailored support to the pupil. The school is well aware of
the difficulties that been previously encountered by the young people coming
into our care and will start afresh, positively supporting the pupils
individuality alongside promoting the value of appropriate social skills. We
provide a clearly staged developmental pathway from nurturing to self-management
and independence, with skilled staff and resources to assist in this journey.
