About Hillside School

Hillside School is an inclusive community that provides 52-week residential care and education for young people aged 8-19 who have complex and/or additional support needs relating to: adversity and developmental trauma, attachment issues; neurodiversity, including ADHD and Autism; a learning disability; social, emotional, and mental health needs; and low school attendance. We have a skilled and diverse staff group, comprising residential care staff, teachers, learning support assistants, therapists, houseparents, and grounds and domestic staff. Our staff build and sustain relationships with all of our young people, encouraging them to be successful learners, responsible citizens, confident individuals and effective contributors. Our adults are nurturing and compassionate; they ensure dignity and respect for all, and are attuned, responsive, curious and optimistic.
