Poplar House School

We are committed to nurturing emotional resilience, fostering integrity and instilling self-belief within every pupil. We celebrate the unique qualities of each individual as a foundation for lifelong learning and personal fulfilment.

Poplar House School is a mixed, INDEPENDENT THERAPEUTIC SPECIALIST DAY SCHOOL for 24 children and young people with social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH) aged 11 -18. We enable pupils to access an enriching curriculum with bespoke learning pathways and qualifications in a safe, calm and nurturing environment.

Typically, our children present with the following needs:

• Autism or traits
• High anxiety
• Social vulnerability
• Actual or perceived barriers to learning School Phobia
• Difficulty building and sustaining relationships
• Academically able with gaps in prior learning
• Sensory processing needs
• Social communication needs
• Low self-esteem and poor resilience

We know that many of our pupils have found mainstream, or larger specialist schools, challenging or overwhelming and this has impacted their educational journey. We have created a school to support these pupils. We recognise that every child is different and embrace these differences.

Our pupils have access to a team of skilled teachers, therapists and professionals who work together to ensure each pupil has a learning programme tailored to their specific needs.
