Additional information:
Harmeny is a Grant Aided Specialist School, providing an integrated approach to the education and care of children, who have complex social emotional and behavioural needs.
Children who are referred to Harmeny have often experienced complete family breakdown, followed by multiple residential and / or foster placement breakdown; and exclusion from mainstream or specialist education.
Our work at Harmeny starts with the child; their needs are at the heart of all that we do. We are a highly nurturing living and learning community, committed to providing excellent care and education. We strive to help children experience the wonders of childhood, overcome their difficulties and build strengths and resilience for the future.
