Horton Education & Care provides placements for children and young people with special educational needs (SEN). Horton House School and Children’s Home is situated on four sites, in the City of Hull and East Riding villages. The school has close access to the Yorkshire Dales and the North Yorkshire Moors. Horton Education and Care provide a family environment within each of our schools and homes. Our staff focus on building positive relationships, as this is a factor in supporting pupil achievement. Our ultimate aim is to promote 'total education' whereby education & care combine to help children and young people achieve, manage their own behaviour, and secure for themselves a brighter future. Ofsted reported on our success in 'providing an environment where pupils who have moderate to severe learning or behavioural difficulties can flourish. As a result of good curricular provision and teaching, pupils make good progress, improve their behaviour and develop more positive attitudes to learning.' The curriculum is broad and balanced to meet the individual needs and reflect the interests of our young people who have a wide range of complex needs. The requirements of the national curriculum are met through a range of approaches aimed at raising attainment. The provider is Horton Education and Care. Another disability catered for is social and emotional behaviour difficulties. The name of the unit for children is the Southlands Hall / Chanterlands. Volunteers may be accepted.
