About Hill House School
Location
Hill House School is situated in a rural setting in the village of Boldre, near Lymington, in Hampshire. The school nestles between the New Forest and The Solent, offering splendid views and good access to the south coast. It is three miles from Brockenhurst station, served by mainline trains from Waterloo (approx one hour 20 minutes). Visitors travelling by train should take a taxi from the station to the school.
By road, most routes from London, the Home and Southern Counties, lead via the M3 to the M27. From junction 1 onthe M27 follow the A337 to Lymington passing through Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst. Rope Hill is approximately three miles out of Brockenhurst; it is the left turn at an offset crossroads, signposted Boldre and Pilley to the left, Sway to the right. The school is well signposted on the left approximately 400 yards from the junction.
History
The school building was originally a private residence. A visitor to the school, the son of a previous owner, kindly provided us with some photographs of the building in the 1930s. Visitors to the school can see a display of these photographs in the entrance hall. Following the Second World War, Hill House was run as a preparatory school until 1975 when it became part of the Southlands Group, which provided residential special education. In 1983 Hill House, together with Southlands School, also in Boldre, became a part of one of the largest groups of independent special schools in the country, and in 1992 it became a 52 week residential special school for students with special needs similar to those catered for by the school today.
In September 2005 Hill House School was acquired by Cambian Education Services, together with six other independent special residential schools in the south of England.
Our Students
The school offers 52-week residential provision for 22 students aged 11-19 with autistic spectrum disorders, severe learning difficulties and associated behaviours, whose difficulties have prevented their needs being fully met in other schools and centres. Staffing ratios are 1:1 in education time (school time) and similar ratios in care time, dependent upon student need and activities. At times of distress or when in the community, our students may require a higher staffing ratio and this support is available as required. We also provide a high ratio of waking night staff. All students who attend Hill House School have a Statement of Special Educational Needs issued by their own Local Authority. We offer students access to a calm, consistent, eclectic approach to meet their very special individual needs.
