As well as delivering the best possible education, we also have a clinical team who provide care and therapy to benefit the students in our school.
The Clinical team work with each student, as well as their parents or carers, to agree a support plan which will become part of their school life, enabling them to build on their strengths and increase their resilience. The clinical team and school are supported by a qualified team of Thrive practitioners’.

We aim to provide our students with a safe, caring and nurturing community with clear, consistent boundaries and high expectations. Relationships are at the heart of our approach and are based on sensitive understanding of a young person’s experiences and the areas in which they require more support.
Behaviour is understood as a form of communication and all staff work together to enable the healthy physical, social, and emotional development of each student.

Hello, my name is Holly and I am a therapy assistant. I have foundations in completing my Psychology degree and experience in support work with young people in residential, SEND educational and mental health settings. I am also currently completing my course to become a counsellor. I approach my work here with empathy, patience and a positive attitude and look forward to continually supporting our young people to thrive and reach their potentials.
Hello I’m Immy. I’m the Lead Clinician at WLS and Speech and Language Therapist. I studied and worked initially in New Zealand with children and young people. This gave me experience in inpatient and outpatient care, as well as CAMHs. I moved back to the UK in 2019 where I have predominantly been working in the area of mental health, brain injury neurorehabilitation and management of progressive neurological conditions.
I believe it is vital we have a good understanding of each child’s communication challenges and work together on practical strategies to help them overcome these obstacles, and best access their education.
Hi I’m Sylvia, a Speech and Language Therapist at WLS. Prior to this role, I worked within the SALT team at a specialist college for neurodivergent and learning disabled 16-25yr olds. I am interested in trauma-informed and neuro-affirming practice and am really enjoying working with the children and young people at WLS.
