Redefining education
We don't just educate; we nurture support and propel our pupils towards a future where their potential knows no bounds. Join us on a transformative journey, where education extends beyond textbooks, therapy nurtures resilience, and futures are shaped with purpose and promise.
Love of learning
At Hinckley House School, our bespoke curriculum allows us to deliver learning that is accessible, engaging, and packed with adventure and discovery through educational visits and field trips to support and enhance learning experiences.
Our commitment to a well-rounded education includes a focus on social development. Through enrichment activities that promote collaboration, friendship, social interaction, and teamwork, pupils build interpersonal skills, empowering them to navigate relationships, contribute meaningfully to their communities, and succeed in diverse environments. We take pride in focusing on friendships and a strong sense of community. By doing so, children and young people learn to appreciate diverse perspectives and support one another, contributing to a positive and inclusive learning environment.
Our outstanding offer
We believe that building strong, trusting relationships with families is fundamental to a pupil’s success. When parents feel supported, informed, and involved, children thrive. That’s why, from the moment a child joins Hinckley House, we prioritise building meaningful connections with their parents and carers. We take the time to understand each family’s unique circumstances, offer guidance, open communication, and consistent support every step of the way.
We prioritise clear and consistent communication. Families receive daily updates through platforms such as Class Charts and Tapestry, complete with photographs and written summaries of their child’s day. This ensures parents stay closely connected to their child’s learning journey and experiences at school.
Reading is at the heart of our curriculum. We use Little Wandle, a nationally recognised phonics scheme, to help pupils master the foundations of reading. This programme supports us in identifying and closing any gaps in learning, while steadily building confidence and fluency.
Our school library is a vibrant, growing space filled with books that spark curiosity and joy. Classrooms are named after mythical creatures, a creative nod to both history and imagination.
Every child is encouraged to see reading not just as a skill, but as a gateway to exploration, independence, and future success.
Outdoor learning is a cornerstone of the Hinckley House experience. Pupils attend weekly Forest School sessions, working closely with local Park Rangers on projects that connect children with nature.
Our pupils learn to build bird boxes, create bug hotels, and explore habitats, all while developing critical social skills like teamwork, resilience, and communication. Forest School also plays a vital role in personal development, helping children who struggle in traditional classroom settings to rediscover their love of learning in the natural world.
Our Personal Development Programme is central to the curriculum, helping children grow into confident, capable, and compassionate individuals. Each class has a weekly session focused on real-life skills, social confidence, and emotional well-being. Activities include visits to local shops to practise using money, preparing food with fresh produce, and learning practical skills like tying shoelaces or road safety. For Year 6 pupils, this also includes swimming lessons, ensuring no child misses out on key experiences.
Every programme is tailored to the individual, with personal goals set following an initial assessment. Whether building friendships, improving communication, or developing independence, progress is regularly reviewed and adapted to meet each child’s needs.
Here, personal development is not an add-on; it’s essential. It helps our pupils reconnect with learning, discover their strengths, and grow into the best versions of themselves.
Therapy
Our on-site Clinical Team provide pupils with unrivalled levels of therapeutic support, in terms of the level of expertise, the ratio of qualified therapists and clinicians to children and young people, and the range of therapies offered. Pupils have the support of our Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists and other specialists as required.
We believe that unless a child or young person is able to feel emotionally safe and secure, they are less likely to fulfil their personal, social and educational potential. Our unique approach to supporting young people through our Wave Model enables them to go on to realise a future filled with aspiration and achievement.
Hinckley House School's Clinical Team complete thorough and skilled assessments that support a shared understanding of the complex needs we see in our children and young people. This enables us to put purposeful and appropriate interventions in place and assess our effectiveness through the tracking of outcomes and impact.
Futures
At Hinckley House School, we are dedicated to raising the aspirations of our pupils, while also equipping them with the skills and confidence to realise outstanding outcomes. The Futures programme inspires and connects pupils with their next steps beyond education, utilising a growing network of over 350 employer partnerships, including the likes of Microsoft, Mercedes and John Lewis, to provide outstanding experiences of the workplace and ongoing opportunities and support. Our Futures sessions provide practical guidance on job applications, confidence-building, networking, and workplace expectations, giving children and young people the tools to navigate their career paths with clarity. Complementing this, our Futures curriculum enriches academic growth while developing personal development and career readiness, ensuring they are prepared for their chosen paths. With no upper age limit on support, the programme boasts a 100% success rate in transitioning students into education, employment, or training.
