Therapeutic
Support
How We Work
At East Street Farm, we offer a nurturing environment where young people can grow emotionally and socially. Our wellbeing team including Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Occupational Therapy, Clinical Psychology and Speech & Language Therapy uses a range of approaches to meet individual needs.
At East Street Farm School, therapy is embedded into our curriculum and daily routines. Our multidisciplinary clinical team works in close partnership with our education staff to deliver consistent, integrated therapeutic input throughout the school day. Whether in the classroom, during enrichment activities, or through outdoor learning, therapy is woven into the learning experience. This collaborative approach ensures that each student receives support that enhances both their personal development and academic progress.
