SEMH needs
Support where confidence, emotional regulation or relationships affect learning.
Who we support
Personalised support for learners who need a different route to progress
Lighthouse supports learners who may not be thriving in conventional classroom settings, or who require a smaller, more flexible and relationship-focused pathway.
Autism and neurodiversity
Predictable, respectful support that considers communication, sensory need, routine and individual strengths.
ADHD and impulsivity
Practical, movement-rich learning with clear boundaries, pace, purpose and trusted adult support.
PDA profiles
Low-arousal approaches, choice, collaboration and thoughtful demand management.
Anxiety and emotionally based school avoidance
Gradual engagement, trusted relationships, safety planning and confidence-building routines.
Risk of exclusion or permanent exclusion
Relational intervention that aims to reduce crisis, rebuild trust and re-establish educational engagement.
Trauma and disrupted education
Emotionally safe practice, co-regulation and achievable experiences of success.
EHCP and SEND support
Targets may align with EHCP outcomes, SEND support plans, school priorities and commissioner expectations.
Every placement is considered individually. Lighthouse will only accept a placement where the learner's needs can be met safely, purposefully and within agreed staffing, risk and commissioning arrangements.
