About Us

Gloucester House forms part of the Tavistock Clinic and is managed by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust. It is a specialist school and CAMHS team which provides education and clinical services for up to 21 pupils aged 5-14 years who have social, emotional and mental health needs, often alongside other learning difficulties such as specific language or literacy difficulties and sometimes more general learning difficulties. Many of our pupils are neurodiverse.

Baseline records show that all pupils are underachieving when they start at Gloucester House. Many of the pupils who attend are from socially disadvantaged backgrounds, some of whom have experienced trauma or other adverse experiences in their early lives. The pupils come from both inner and outer London boroughs.

Gloucester House aims to provide a safe and nurturing environment through an effectively integrated educational and therapeutic approach to promote the holistic development of the children and young people..

All the pupils at Gloucester House have an EHCP, some pupils are looked after or adopted, and many have had multi-agency involvement prior to attending Gloucester House.
