WELCOME TO ROWDEN HOUSE SCHOOL’S CHILDREN’S HOME
Our focus at Rowden House is to ensure that each young person reaches their full potential regardless of the barriers presented to them. We are specialists in supporting children and young people aged 11-19 years with autism, severe learning disabilities and challenging behaviour. Rowden House School is situated in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside and is fortunate to have extensive grounds and woodlands which are both safe and accessible to users. As well as these open areas, we have specially adapted play areas and equipment within the grounds. We have ample space for children to ride their bikes safely, run around and bounce on various trampolines. We offer day and 38 – 52 week residential placements at our peaceful rural setting in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside. The education and care teams offer an integrated provision with an interdisciplinary approach. Uniquely, our care staff support the young people both in the home and in school, thus ensuring consistency across both settings. We believe this is the best way for young people to thrive and develop their independence.
We always value the insight and knowledge parents have about the needs of their child and the best way to support them, and we work closely with parents throughout their child’s time with us. Parents and family are welcome to visit and stay at our onsite accommodation when visiting their child. In October 2020, we created a family and contact complex with a sensory room. This is the additional room on site alongside the existing caravans and a lodge accommodation. The new room offers families a safe, fully accessible and private space to meet with their children and engage in fun activities such as playing games, arts and crafts and baking or just relaxing in a quiet environment. Our residential staff team receive comprehensive ongoing training to keep them up to date with latest practice. Young people are supported by a Multi Disciplinary team including Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech & Language Therapy and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. We also employ trained staff who deliver yoga exercise and rebound therapy.
