Join us for a tour of Elderbrook School, meet the team and hear about our therapeutic approach to education.

Discover Elderbrook School

Join us at one of our upcoming Open Events and see how Elderbrook School supports children and young people with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs to achieve positive outcomes and build brighter futures.

Our Open Events provide an opportunity for parents and carers to explore our specialist setting, meet our experienced team and learn more about our personalised approach to education.

Formerly Arc School Old Arley, Elderbrook School is a specialist independent school that supports children and young people whose primary need is SEMH. Many of our pupils have experienced adverse childhood experiences, trauma, disrupted education, or challenges that have impacted their engagement with learning.

Please note: Elderbrook School is not an autism-specific provision. While some pupils may have additional needs, the school's specialist expertise and educational approach are designed for children and young people whose primary need is social, emotional and mental health difficulties.
