“We put children and young people at the heart of all that we do”
Cotswold Spa Hospital School
Cotswold Spa Hospital School is a registered Independent Special School. It has been rated “outstanding” by Ofsted and is a registered exam centre.
All patients are encouraged to attend school during term time where education is provided to pupils from Key Stage 3 through to GCSEs and A-Levels. We aim to make each young person’s stay with us a positive experience, the continuation of routine education helps us to normalise what can seem a very abnormal situation. We encourage young people to see the value of education and the benefits it can bring them once they leave hospital.
The teachers have high aspirations for our students and we provide a high quality, relevant and balanced education for all our students that focuses on individual, personal and academic achievement whilst they are receiving hospital treatment. Students are taught in small groups and there is a motivational and positive atmosphere in the school rooms, which provide a familiar educational environment within the hospital.
Head Teacher’s Vision
At Cotswold Spa Hospital School, our vision is to ensure that every young person’s time with us is a positive, purposeful and enriching experience. We recognise that hospital life can feel far from normal, and we are committed to providing education that brings structure, stability and a sense of normality to each day.
We place great importance on working collaboratively with our students, recognising their individual interests, needs and aspirations. Through a negotiated and personalised curriculum, we aim to open doors to new opportunities and pathways for the future, supporting each young person to re-engage with learning in ways that are meaningful to them.
Our approach combines academic learning with creativity, enjoyment and relaxation — helping students to rediscover confidence, curiosity, and the pleasure that comes from learning. Enrichment and new experiences form an essential part of our offer, nurturing not only knowledge and skills but also wellbeing and personal growth.
At Cotswold Spa Hospital School, we strive to ensure that every young person in our care feels valued, supported, and inspired — equipped with the tools and confidence to lead happy, fulfilled, and successful lives.
