Troup House School is an independent, specialist day and residential school for boys and girls aged 8 to 16+ years with additional support needs including social, emotional and mental health difficulties, autistic spectrum conditions and challenging behaviour. The young people may also have difficulties with learning, often as a result of trauma, a disrupted educational experience and multiple residential placements.
Troup House School is set in 43 acres of woodland with the main house overlooking the Moray Firth. This natural rural setting plays an important part in the holistic experience of our young people. Young people can engage with the natural environment and are encouraged to participate in the care of the school and gardens. This provides young people with the opportunity to gain a real-life educational experience which is supported by the curriculum. The school also provides step-down services within the local community to prepare our young people with the necessary independence skills before returning home.
Young people have access to a range of therapies, most of which are integrated into the education and care programme. Person centred planning is the central theme for all interventions and approaches, with tools such as life story work, life space crisis intervention and cognitive behavioural interventions being adopted. Therapies are tailored according to the young persons’ individual needs with psychological provision where and when required.
Troup House School adopts a multidisciplinary approach to education that is individualised to take account of the different learning needs of each young person. The curriculum is firmly based upon the principles of the Curriculum for Excellence and ensures that all young people are equipped with the core skills of literacy, numeracy and information communication technology, whilst at the same time building on the individual interests of each young person. Young people are motivated to re-engage with learning through cross-curricular themes, that are often practical and experiential.
