The Lodge

The Lodge opened in April 2007. The original farmhouse was extended during the 1980s. This new building resulted in a luxurious country residence constructed in the attractive local limestone. We have converted this to provide ample living accommodation for our Key Stage 2 & 3 pupils with a ‘homely’ feel. The Lodge faces the front of the school with views across formal gardens.

“This is the best home that I have ever lived in.”
— Learner, 2024

The learners that reside at The Lodge are older and therefore have increased independence compared to the younger learners at The Bungalow.

  • Individual music lessons

  • Trampoline Club

  • Fishing

  • Swimming
