Environment & Facilities

Bere-education

Located within the spacious grounds of the clinic, our school provides a calm and purposeful environment which encourages students to concentrate, learn and develop in a caring supportive setting. The school is based within the clinic enabling the teaching team to liaise closely at every stage with the medical team. There is one main school room as well as a student common room, where we can support our students with their studies during their stay at Bere Clinic.


The school room is light and spacious with floor to ceiling windows offering views of the outside grounds with double doors allowing access to the outside. It is fully equipped with state-of-the-art laptops and a fully interactive smart board. Students receive their own laptop on admission and will have access to a range of mathematical and science equipment, literary texts, textbooks, drawing and art materials. We can also order additional resources depending on each students’ individual needs.

Safeguarding

We are committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all of our students and ensure consistent delivery through:

  • Development and implementation of good safeguarding policies and procedures, including safer recruitment
  • Ensuring all staff receive specialist training, and are aware of and follow our safeguarding policies and procedures
  • Awareness and implementation of the Prevent strategy
  • Rigorous monitoring of internet usage and robust filtering of appropriate websites
  • Promotion of keeping young people safe throughout the curriculum, with emphasis on delivery through PSHE lessons

At Bere Clinic School, we believe safeguarding is EVERYONE’s responsibility. Any concerns from external parties may be sent to the school’s Designated Safeguarding Lead.
