Specialist education and care settings throughout England

We offer nurturing specialist day schools, residential schools, and children’s homes across the UK for children and young people with a diverse range of additional educational needs, such as those with an autism spectrum condition (ASC), social emotional and mental health needs (SEMH) and other learning and communication needs.

Helpful Information > Our Locations

Each of our provision are tailored to meet the young person’s individual needs to provide the best opportunities to thrive and flourish.

Our schools follow the National Curriculum and have a strong educational focus. For many of our young people their previous experience in education has been a negative one, so we aim to re-ignite a passion for learning.

Our homes work to provide children with fantastic care which includes memorable experiences and results in positive outcomes for children and young people. We want the children we care for to have fun and be safe whilst they are with us and to feel treasured for who they are.

Kedleston Group’s Local Promise

It's important that children in care live as close to their home areas as possible, unless there are good reasons why this is not in their interests. We promise to:

Fully consider and explore referrals for local children whose needs are covered by our statement of purpose
Discuss possible placements with professionals and agencies involved in supporting a child
Work with local authorities to support children back to their local areas
