At Lake House School, we recognise that for many pupils, emotional wellbeing, communication, and regulation must be strengthened before learning can truly flourish. Our therapeutic approach is not an “add-on” to education — it is fully integrated into daily school life.

We provide a holistic, child-centred model where education and therapy work together to support each pupil’s development, wellbeing, and long-term success.

A Fully Integrated Approach

Our teachers, therapists, and support staff work closely as one team to ensure that therapeutic strategies are embedded across the school day — in classrooms, social times, transitions, and enrichment activities.

This means:

• Therapy informs teaching, and teaching reinforces therapy
• Pupils receive consistent support and language throughout the day
• Strategies are practiced in real, meaningful situations
• Progress is supported emotionally, socially, and academically

Our Areas of Therapeutic Support

Depending on individual needs, pupils may receive support in areas such as:

• Emotional regulation and self-awareness
• Communication and interaction
• Sensory integration and processing
• Anxiety management and resilience
• Social understanding and relationships
• Attention, engagement, and learning behaviours
• Independence and life skills

Support may be delivered through a combination of:

• Individual therapy sessions
• Small group interventions
• In-class therapeutic strategies
• Targeted programmes and structured activities
