About Elmbank Learning Centre
Elmbank Learning Centre and the onsite children's home accommodates up to five young people, all of whom are female and have experienced trauma.
Trauma informed practice underpins all of our work and all staff are trained in this approach. This is a strengths-based framework grounded in an understanding of and responsiveness to the impact of trauma, that emphasises physical, psychological, and emotional safety for everyone, and that creates opportunities for survivors to rebuild a sense of control and empowerment.
A big warm welcome to our website
Welcome to Elmbank Learning Centre. Elmbank offers a bespoke and personalised curriculum to meet the holistic needs of each pupil on site through our blended education, care and therapeutic provision.
Our aim is to offer a high quality curriculum to allow pupils to make rapid development from their start points - academically, socially and emotionally.
The safe and welcoming environment ensures pupils are able to confidently progress in their education and build self esteem, which allows them to thrive and develop into valued members of society.
The small site has excellent facilities and utilises the local community to access further learning experiences. The specially trained staff team offer excellent levels of support to pupils, guiding them to become independent and resilient learners ready for the next step of their life.

Aims and ethos
We are committed to providing our pupils with a caring, positive and welcoming learning environment where they can achieve their full potential in their education and develop their social communication.
Our broad curriculum allows pupils to pursue both academic and vocational paths allowing individuals to strive in their areas of strength.
We are committed to the following principles:
- To respect the value of all individual pupils and staff
- To provide the highest standards of care and education
- To ensure safety, security and opportunities for success
Our offer
Our Integrated Therapeutic Offer allows us to provide sector leading standards of education, therapeutic support and care for small groups of young people, all on one site. This approach mirrors that of a traditional children’s home and school relationship, but considers the additional support required by young people with significant special educational needs. The young people will live in a children’s home located on-site. This purpose-built home provide an extremely high-quality living experience for young people.
We offer a complete package of residential care, in conjunction with our on-site learning centre, that consistently allows children to realise their potential, both academically and socially. Each young person is closely supported throughout their school day and home life. There are strong links between the children’s home and learning centre to ensure the best possible outcomes are achieved for each young person and that all of their social, educational and therapeutic needs are met.
The unique characteristic of an integrated provision is the delivery of ‘wrap around’ care, education and therapy to all young people, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
