A Holistic Approach
Jean North, Designated Safeguarding Lead at Grateley House School, highlights the importance of creating a safe, happy, and supportive environment, and explains how the school takes a holistic approach in supporting students and their families.
Education Quad
Our "Education Quad" is located at the heart of our school, and is our dedicated area for all our classrooms and teaching spaces, making transitioning between lessons simple and easy. Signposted with artwork and woodwork, each of our classrooms are purpose-built and practical, with the technology and facilities our staff and students may need during lessons.
We have dedicated classrooms for English, Mathematics, Science, Design Technology, Art and Food Technology. Our fantastic Design Technology room is arranged up in a practical workshop style, with all of the machinery, tools and work benches for students to utilise during their creative lessons. Our Art Room is set up like an Art studio, with inspirational artwork on display on the walls done by students, and tools, stationery, paints, clay, brushes and canvases. Our Food Technology is a fully equipped, modern kitchen, with all of the appliances and utensils students may need during cookery and baking lessons.
Occupational Therapy Room
Near our classrooms, we also have our popular occupational therapy room. This Room is spacious, with soft furnishings, sensory equipment, a therapy swing, sensory interactive games, bean bags, a trampoline and exercise equipment, offering our students a space to develop key skills – even as they passively explore the environment. Occupational therapy rooms offer the development of skills such as communication coordination, concentration, cognitive development, socialisation, focus, motor skill development, balance and calming.
Library
Our library is a wonderful, quiet space for our students to enjoy browsing our extensive selection of books and enjoy reading. With comfortable seating and a TV, our library is a nice space to relax in.
