Northleigh House School was established in 2012 to address the growing need for a safe, calm and progressive learning environment to help secondary aged children recover from the effects of high anxiety.

“Knowing when to push, when to let go, what to listen to, and what to ignore - all these skills are based on the profound respect for human dignity and working to restore a sense of who they are and what they want to be.” Insoo Kim Berg, Psychotherapist

This is how we have established our learning environment. We aim to help each young person to regain their inner confidence and trust their own potential. 

We promote a culture where every member of the school, whether student or staff, is valued, respected and plays a vital role in the development of Northleigh's community.

Here at Northleigh House School we strive to achieve a happy, caring, safe and nurturing environment where children can grow and develop to their full potential whilst following individual education programmes and study in beautiful surroundings, with staff who care very much about their safety, wellbeing and progress.

We take the time to get to know our children well - aided by small group sizes, often 1:1. We endeavour to equip children with the skills they need to be successful in the outside world, whilst making them feel valued. If a child is unhappy, that child will not learn. You can build on happy, you will struggle to build on sad.
