and care needs. All pupils are supported through personalised multidisciplinary
programmes, created in partnership with their families and carers, delivered in
beautiful grounds, set amongst a 24-acre site at The Children’s Trust’s

As a regional school we admit children and young people from
a wide catchment area across the South East of England. We are able to support
up to 44 children who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) where
neurodisability, including complex needs, require an integrated approach from a
team of multidisciplinary professionals.
We have an on-site specialist nursery available for children

additional health and educational needs through Taddies, our early years parent
and child group through a weekly offer.
With both day and residential placements available, our
School is regulated by Ofsted, rated ‘Good with Outstanding Leadership and
Management’. Our three residential houses are co-located on our 24-acre site
and registered as Children’s Homes, regulated by both Ofsted Care and the Care
Quality Commission (CQC).

social/leisure activities during half terms and holidays, providing a flexible
residential programme for residential pupils of up to 52 weeks, with
flexibility for weekend visits home where suitable.
Our aim is to provide specialist, high-quality, multidisciplinary
education and care to meet each pupil’s individual complex needs, which
recognises and celebrates all achievements in a safe and happy environment,

Service summary
Specialist Rehabilitation Services
The Children’s Trust is the UK’s leading charity for
children with brain injury and neurodisability. We deliver rehabilitation,
education and community services through skilled teams who work with children
and young people, and their families.
Our national specialist centre located south of London, in
Tadworth, Surrey (junction 8 M25), is the largest of its kind in the UK. As one
of the only paediatric facilities outside of an acute hospital setting that can
provide the most complex rehabilitation in the UK, our neurorehabilitation
packages support children and young people from across the country, aged 0-18
through a range of therapies, education and play to help them make the best
possible return to everyday life.
Each rehabilitation programme is tailored to the individual
child’s needs, incorporating lots of different therapies delivered by a
multidisciplinary team including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech
and language therapy, and play and music therapy.
We assess each child individually and are able to work with children with a variety of complex neurological conditions and health needs including (but not limited to):With services delivered in conjunction with partners such as NHS England and other funding bodies including local authorities and clinical commissioning groups, we are the only paediatric neurorehabilitation provider with a national specialised commissioning contract to deliver brain injury rehabilitation for children with the most complex needs on behalf of NHS England. This means that funding flows automatically for children who meet the criteria. Where NHS England doesn’t fund placements, we have a dedicated team who liaise with a variety of different local authorities and clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), as well as private funders including international embassies and health insurance companies to pursue funding for each placement. In addition, we raise in excess of £8 million a year to support the delivery of our services through fundraising activities.
