About Us
St Piers residential forms part of Young Epilepsy the national children and young people’s epilepsy charity. Our young people have Epilepsy, Autism and learning difficulties, along with communication difficulties.
We provide a safe, homely environment for young people who are residential with us whilst attending St Piers School and College and ensure that our experienced staff are matched to each home according to their skill base, knowledge and experience.
Our education, health and residential teams work closely together, to make sure that each young person has continuous care and support them to fulfil their aspirations and potential.
We take a person-centred approach and provide an environment where each young person has the emotional and physical space to learn, grow, develop and achieve both academically and socially.
