Arthur Davis, along with Amanda Barclay, Bill Brown, Anne Marie Carrie and Tanya Jamil, have undertaken research into the unique, collaborative approach to meeting the educational and therapeutic needs of the children at Frederick Hugh House, a special school for children with complex learning difficulties, where Bill Brown, Chairman of The Education Partnership, is the Education Officer and a Trustee. You can read a copy of the report by clicking here.

Frederick Hugh House is an independent special school established in January 2010. Its aim is to provide the best possible school environment in which children with complex learning difficulties and/or physical difficulties can be taught a specially adapted broad-based curriculum while receiving the highest standards of individuated professional therapeutic support.

The research seeks to detail the collaborative approach taken by Frederick Hugh House. It is intended to show how the school’s distinct approach to SEND provision is leading to remarkable progress by its pupils, and is setting new standards for what can and should be achieved by specialist schools.

Congratulations to the team at Frederick Hugh House on being judged “Excellent” in all areas in thei recent ISI Integrated Inspection.

Frederick Hugh House is a day special school with a truly collaborative approach. This wonderful school, which always places its children at the centre of its concern, so richly deserves this fantastic report:

The school offers a rich, varied and highly nurturing environment in which pupils can develop confidence and self-esteem. A key feature of the success of the school lies in the strong, collaborative approach and responsibility taken by staff for each pupil.

Bill, Jake and Josh at the Education Partnership, have worked closely with the school since 2010, providing advice on compliance and best practice. In addition, Bill has subsequently become Education Officer to the Frederick Hugh Trust and was appointed a Trustee of the school in 2013.
