Therapies

At Wilds Lodge School, we believe that every child deserves the chance to feel safe, understood, and capable of success. Our therapeutic approach is the foundation of everything we do combining care, creativity and expertise to help learners grow both emotionally and academically. Through a highly integrated model of education and therapy, we support our learners to overcome challenges, build resilience and discover their strengths, every single day.

At Wilds Lodge School, therapy is at the heart of everything we do. As a therapeutic school, we believe in equality and collaboration between therapy and education. Every learner deserves the right support to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our therapeutic approach is woven into every part of school life. Therapists work alongside teachers in classrooms, during break times, lunchtimes and extracurricular activities, ensuring that support is both holistic and continuous.

In addition to our universal, whole-school therapeutic support, we offer targeted and specialist interventions through small group, paired or individual sessions. This ensures every learner receives the right level of support, when they need it most.


The school’s therapeutic provision supports pupils’ personal development and learning well.

Our Whole-School Commitment

At Wilds Lodge, therapy isn’t something that happens in a separate room, it is part of our school culture. Our multidisciplinary team works together every day to nurture each learner’s wellbeing, confidence, and potential.

Together, we help our learners grow emotionally, socially, and academically, so they can step into the world feeling ready, resilient and proud of who they are.


They learn the importance of respecting people who are different from them.
