Newton
Newton house is a warm, welcoming, family type environment which consists of an open plan area where we encourage
the promotion of positive peer relationships. Newton benefits from an open plan kitchen/dining room, comfortable
lounge area, a snooker room, and a cinema room all designed to meet the needs of our children. All bedrooms have
ensuite facilities and are personalised to reflect the individual personalities of our children.
Newton has several residential children as well as having the capacity to allow some of our non-residential children, the
opportunity to experience the residential offer, whilst supporting the individual needs of the child and family. There is a
clear outcome-based process in place, for identifying the children/families that would benefit from a part residential
placement.
The ethos of the house is to grow and develop fundamental life skills our children require, to be in line with their
developmental age, in a fun and creative environment.
Our 24-hour curriculum ensures a wraparound approach for all our children. Within Newton, there is a clear focus on
developing life & living skills, through the AQA and OCR programme, where children can gain accreditation for
completing tasks such as, learning to ride a bike, cooking, learning to swim etc.
