The school regards the administering of prescribed medication to a pupil as a duty. It is considered as part of the whole package of treatment which the school offers. As with all personal affairs measures are taken to ensure privacy and confidentiality and to minimise the possibility of prejudice or stigma. It takes place in the privacy of the school Surgery. The effects of medication are carefully monitored either as part of the schools routine procedure or in response to a particular instruction.
Medication is kept in a secure location.
The school is situated in twenty three acres of parkland. Being within easy striking distance of such urban conurbations as London, Brighton, Eastbourne and Crawley it is ideally placed for pupils to maintain regular contact with their homes. The school operates on the basis that children who present difficult behaviour do so not only because of environmental factors but because of an innate emotional fragility. The school fully appreciates the possibility of a biological basis for behaviour. The school is a registered charity and welcomes visits from those interested in its work.
