Facilities
Education at Vranch
Pupils at Vranch House require a quiet, nurturing and supportive environment, delivered through personalised learning opportunities in small class groups. Pupils at Vranch House all experience moderate to severe physical disabilities and may have a combination of additional needs including complex medical needs and multisensory (visual and/or hearing) impairments. Whilst they have some more-cognitively able pupils, most of our pupils experience specific or global learning needs and others have profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD).A small minority of our pupils may have needs associated with Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC) or occasionally-challenging behaviours arising from sensory integration/regulation needs. We do not however have any specialism in meeting the very specific needs of individuals whose primary learning needs relate to ASC or Behavioural, Emotion or Social Difficulties (BSED). We cannot admit to any part of the school any child or young person whose behaviours or needs may dilute the safety, wellbeing or education of our existing pupils.
