Cambian Brook View School Environment

We understand residential schools can never replace a student’s home, but we make every effort to create a welcoming environment for our young people.  Our staff are caring professionals, who apply a gentle, yet consistent approach providing the emotional and educational support our students need.

We have a range of onsite accommodation including Brook View House, Brook View Lodge and Brook View Flats which cater for our post 16 students encouraging more independent living.

Our homes benefit from communal lounges and dining rooms providing a family environment where our young people feel safe and comfortable.  Students are encouraged to personalise their own rooms to make them truly a ‘home from home’.
