Empowering Every Child to Thrive, Learn and Succeed.
At St Rose’s we provide a nurturing and inclusive environment where every student, regardless of their individual challenges, is empowered to reach their full potential. We are committed to offering a personalised, holistic education that supports academic, social, emotional and physical development. Through a collaborative approach with families, specialists, and the community, we create an environment for children with special educational needs to thrive, build confidence and develop the skills necessary for their future lives.
On site we have our own highly skilled and experienced specialist teaching staff and therapists. We offer a range of therapies including physio, speech and language, occupational, aquatic, massage and music therapy. Staff work closely together to encourage social and personal development as well as to support each young person with their learning and to meet their aspirations.
Our beautiful grounds are within walking distance to the centre of Stroud, where our links with the community are strong and well-established.
The inspiring courage of our Catholic founders gives us a strong spiritual ethos. We welcome students irrespective of their faith.
You are welcome to visit to experience the family-feel of St Rose’s where we celebrate success and bring opportunity and choice to students with disabilities.
