Therapies at Clervaux Garden School
Ruskin Mill Trust’s Practical Skills Therapeutic Education method embeds our therapeutic approach to human development throughout our children and young people’s day and residential sessions and activities.
Clervaux Garden School also provides a more targeted therapeutic programme for our children and young people, in addition to our practical curriculum, through discrete therapy sessions and input from the therapy team into day and residential planning.
Integrated Therapeutic Support at Clervaux Garden School
At Clervaux Garden School, we recognise that many children and young people benefit from therapeutic input as part of their educational journey. In alignment with the Practical Skills Therapeutic Education (PSTE) method developed by Ruskin Mill Trust, we offer a fully integrated, on-site therapeutic provision that supports each student’s emotional, social, and developmental needs.
Our therapeutic team works collaboratively with education staff and families to ensure that support is embedded across the curriculum and daily life. This approach enables students to build trusting and respectful relationships, regulate their emotions, and engage meaningfully in learning.
These therapies are delivered in a way that complements the land and craft curriculum, ensuring that therapeutic support is not isolated but woven into the fabric of school life. This holistic model allows students to experience consistency, safety, and relational depth across all aspects of their education.
