Mortimer House School

We understand young people learn in very different ways, and a person centred approach enables success

Staff Member – Mortimer House School

Specialist education for children and young people aged 12 to 19

Education is the best way to help children and young people with additional needs to achieve positive and fulfilling futures. They need a teacher who believes in them as an individual with hopes and potential.

Mortimer House School (previously called Stepping Stones School) offers a unique, warm, safe and caring educational environment for children and young people who may not thrive and achieve in an external setting at this point in their lives. We understand young people learn in very different ways, and a person centred approach enables success.

Staff are passionate about making a difference and enabling them to reach their full potential. We understand how to personalise their learning and share in new experiences with them. We have clear pathways into more formal establishments, such as mainstream education, SEN schooling, college, employment, or work experience.

Our individual, person-centred timetables will include core subjects, but the core curriculum is also embedded in holistic activities to enhance learning opportunities.

Every child and young person will have a 12 week assessment which will allow our teaching staff to gather information about their previous education achievements, assess their current needs and abilities, engage the young person in ownership of their potential and what is required of them to be successful and agree the best learning plan for them.

‘It’s every child’s right to be supported and safeguarded’

Mortimer House (Stepping Stones) has been the best school I have ever been to. There is a lot of new experiences and I get to pick what lessons I start with.
