At Spring Hill we pride ourselves on offering a warm, nurturing and welcoming environment to our young people and their families.
Meet John Curtis - Residential Home Manager (The Acorns) at Cambian Spring Hill School. John gives us an insight into the wonderful spaces and facilities available for residential students.
Our beautiful, spacious residential cottages - The Acorns and The Beeches, are situated within the pretty grounds of Spring Hill school offering our young people an abundance of space which allows for unlimited opportunities for recreation and play as well as the opportunity to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the rural setting.
Each cottage provides a home away from home recreating a family environment that is safe, comfortable and most importantly happy. All of our bedrooms are en-suite and are furnished to a high standard. We encourage our young people to personalise their rooms with colours and soft furnishings of their own choice, decorating their spaces with pictures and ornaments, and adding personal belongings and finishing touches to make them feel truly settled in their environment.
Each young person is offered their own bedroom as well as a second' hobby' room, which is their own space in which they are able to do an activity they enjoy most, for example arts and crafts or music.
Our young people can be given a key to lock their bedroom to ensure their privacy if they wish to do so.
Both our cottages are fully equipped with everything you would expect to find in a family home including large living and dining areas, utility rooms with washing machines and dryers, modern kitchens with appliances and additional communal spaces.
Our young people’s thoughts, wishes and opinions are taken into consideration in all aspects of the planning and running of the home. They are actively encouraged to participate in things such as shopping, meal planning and preparation, general domestic tasks such as tidying their bedroom, setting the table for dinner and putting on the odd load of washing.
Our on site Estates Team ensure that everything is well maintained and safe for young people and adults.
