Dawn House is a day and residential school that supports children and young people aged five to 19 who have complex speech and language challenges that are barriers to their learning. We have been judged by Ofsted as ‘Outstanding’ since 2015.

What we do

We provide a combination of specialised education, therapy and care, creating a community of happy, independent, and confident communicators. We enable children with complex speech and language challenges to look to the future with confidence.

We are committed to integrating outstanding education and in-house therapy for all pupils in a highly specialist environment where their speech and language challenges do not prevent them from learning. We work hard to ensure that children receive an appropriate curriculum, are happy and engaged, and take part in a range of experiences.

Our mission

Dawn House achieves all this by supporting children with complex speech and language challenges to engage, develop, communicate, aspire.

• Engage – Joining in with the things on your timetable and your learning.
• Develop – Having a go and improving your skills in any area.
• Communicate – Using positive and kind words, working with others, asking for help and listening to others.
• Aspire – Believing in yourself so that you can try something new and achieving something you want to.
