School Description

Hobbit House is a school for male and female students aged eight to 17 who are in the care of their local authority. The school caters for residential students. It is a small school. Students often exhibit complex behavioural, emotional and social difficulties and all have had significant disruption to their schooling prior to arriving at Hobbit House. One student has a statement of special educational needs. The students have been in the school for one to three months. They are the first to attend the school since July 2012. Students are taught on site but there is the option to attend local mainstream or special schools and other facilities. Residential staff provide support in the classroom. The school, which was established in 2000, aims to recapture students’ interest in learning and address gaps in their education with a view to reintegrating them into appropriate mainstream or specialist education. It is one of several schools across the country run by the Castlecare Group. The headteacher, also known as the operations manager, has responsibility for other company schools in the south of England. The school was last inspected in 2009.
