Crafting a positive future
Trauma-informed, attachment-focused and relationship-based care, therapy and education.
William Morris School is an independent day and boarding special school for children and young people with complex learning needs and associated social, emotional and behavioural difficulties.
Introducing William Morris School
The school is one of the few educational establishments in the country to adopt a truly ‘trauma-informed’ and ‘trauma-responsive’ approach to care, therapy and education.
Set in a tranquil rural location on the edge of the Cotswolds with easy access to main transport routes, we are a co-educational school which can accept up to 40 pupils between the ages of 7 and 19. As well as providing places for day pupils, the school can offer boarding accommodation for up to 14 pupils for up to 39 weeks of the year.
Education
Our developmentally-sensitive curriculum pathways have been carefully designed to help overcome the significant impact of early childhood trauma on young people’s learning processes.
Our teaching staff are skilled in helping every child to overcome their barriers to learning and discover the joy of learning and developing new skills.
Therapeutic support
All our pupils have access to high-quality therapy from our clinical therapy team.
We offer a range of different types of therapy – each child is different when it comes to therapeutic support so we offer targeted interventions aimed at ensuring that all our pupils can access therapy in a way that is most beneficial to them.
Fun, creativity and opportunity
Our Youth Support team run a range of after school clubs and activities as part of our waking day curriculum and help pupils access clubs and leisure activities in the local community.
Our excellent onsite workshops and other facilities provide plenty of opportunities for pupils to pursue creative activities and hobbies.
