Overview
Welcome to Eastwood Grange School, located in the village of Ashover in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District. We are an independent school providing specialist education and care services, registered to take up to 50 children and young people aged 5-18 years with a range of needs.
These include social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs, complex needs such as attachment disorders, trauma or anxiety, a high functioning autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), pathological demand avoidance (PDA) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Curriculum
The National Curriculum is followed, and we cater for varying levels of ability with pupils working towards nationally accredited exams, including GCSEs. Teachers use structured classroom management strategies to maintain a positive learning environment. These strategies focus on rewarding good behaviour and promoting social skills, so students learn to cooperate, respect others, and contribute to a supportive classroom community.

Local Offer
Eastwood Grange School helps children and young people with complex needs to address and then overcome their barriers to learning. Mainstream school has not met the needs of our pupils and they may have been out of education for long periods. With our intensive specialist support, they address their social, emotional and mental health difficulties, building resilience that sees them access learning in a productive and beneficial way.
Our pupils develop character that enables them to rise to new challenges and feel confident, taking academic risks and learning new skills for life. The school prepares children and young people for secure and productive lives, where they contribute positively to society.
