Environment & Facilities

Nestled within the peaceful and expansive grounds of the hospital, our school provides a serene and purposeful environment that fosters concentration, learning, and personal growth. We are dedicated to offering a nurturing and supportive setting where students can truly thrive. To ensure each student receives personalised attention, we offer small teaching groups, with additional support from teaching assistants as needed. The school is equipped with four well-appointed teaching rooms, each thoughtfully designed to meet the unique needs of our students, creating an ideal space for them to learn and develop effectively.

Safeguarding

At Rhodes Wood Hospital School, we are committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all of our young people. We strive to ensure consistent delivery of safeguarding practices through the following measures:

  • The development and implementation of comprehensive safeguarding policies and procedures, including safer recruitment practices.
  • Ensuring that all staff receive specialist training, and are fully aware of, and adhere to, our safeguarding policies and procedures.
  • Promoting awareness and adherence to the Prevent strategy.
  • Rigorous monitoring of internet usage, alongside the robust filtering of inappropriate websites.
  • Actively promoting the importance of keeping young people safe throughout the curriculum, with a particular focus on delivery through PSHE lessons

We believe that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility at Rhodes Wood Hospital School Should any external parties have concerns, these can be directed to the school’s Designated Safeguarding Lead, Michelle Fennell-Bergin, at  mfennell@elysiumeducation.co.uk
