Brantwood Specialist School

As a Ruskin Mill Trust school, our craft and outdoor curriculum (Practical Skills and Therapeutic Education or PSTE) offers a unique, therapeutic educational experience that sees our students develop as human beings in a very complex world.

We are a day school, with a residential home that offers up to four placements (38 or 52 weeks) with education at our school. Our students enjoy a caring, welcoming and relaxed, yet structured environment. This encourages them to develop within a range of craft and outdoor settings, re-imagining their own potential whilst being fostered into the world beyond their educational experience.

Our students integrate into the community in a wide variety of ways including:

• Supporting local community projects.

• Going to local cinemas, ice rinks and swimming pools.

• Carrying out community activities that may be linked to Prince’s Trust or Duke of Edinburgh.

Depending on the age of the student, these will be accessed and either fully supervised, partially supervised or unsupervised.
