We work with the most vulnerable children, who have a complex range of physical and/or mental health difficulties, helping them to re-set their learning journey to achieve better outcomes and to improve their life chances in the short and longer term.

We provide a range of specialist assessments, which allow us to develop an integrated plan that will work in harmony with the academic and emotional wellbeing strands.

River Tees Hospital School gives every learner the chance to be the best that they can be. This is achieved through the removal of barriers to learning, and the delivery of personalised educational programmes which lead to valuable and valid qualifications.

River Tees Hospital School is dedicated to providing high quality education through an innovative structure, so that vulnerable students have access to advanced and energising programmes of learning. We value the professional relationships between staff and learners, but equally ensure strong collaborative partnership work with parents, carers, trustees, external providers and the wider community, to ensure learners achieve their potential.

All learners are supported to develop lively and enquiring minds, whilst ensuring that they feel safe and valued in an inclusive environment. The ethos of inclusion is central to all of the work of our Trust and we strive to help our young people to achieve their aims and ambitions.
