We are an outstanding specialist independent day school in London for children with speech, language and communication difficulties.
“Pupils and staff describe Blossom House as a very special place to be. It is a school where pupils of all ages flourish in their learning and development.”
After many years' experience as a Speech and Language Therapist, I opened our first language-centred nursery group in 1989. It was run on the philosophy that children need both ‘language to learn’ and ‘to learn language’ through exposure to a range of experiences that enables them to master other skills.
Since then, we have extended our provision to meet the needs of children who require an
integrated programme of learning throughout their school years, in a caring and highly
supportive environment. Self-esteem and confidence are crucial to success and many of our children arrive at Blossom House with a very poor self-image and little belief in any ability they do have. Taking a holistic approach, we celebrate children’s strengths, build on their successes and provide intensive, specialist help with the areas they’re struggling with.
Now offering full time education for children aged 3 – 19, Blossom House has flourished along with the many students and families we have supported.
Our school is a vibrant and truly positive place thanks to our totally dedicated, highly
competent and wonderfully caring staff. It’s a privilege to work with the children who come
here and to watch them blossom and grow.
