OUR MISSION: Amberley Ridge School gives every child a fresh start by providing a nurturing and happy environment that offers the opportunity to improve, develop and achieve their individual potential.

Hello and welcome to our Residential Department

 

The residential department offers an extended curriculum, offering activities to encourage learning and social skills. Each child has their own key- work group. This includes a sitting room for us to do our homework and to chill out in. 

 

 

 

We all have our own bedrooms which we have had painted in our chosen colour. Some of us even have en-suites and we all have access to a Jacuzzi bath. 

 

 

 

 

The Jacuzzi baths are in wet rooms where we can play and make lots of bubbles.

 

Each evening we chose activities these include trips to Keynes Park, bowling, Swindon Oasis, cinema, swimming, walks to the ice-cream factory, football and much more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please look at photos of some of our exciting activities

 

 

 

We are all having coaching at the moment from the team at Forest Green Rovers and we all really enjoy this.

What we like about boarding?

 

"I like boarding because staff help us when we need them or when we are upset.  They buy us lots of things to play with." Ben

 

"I like boarding because we have fun trips like bowling and in school we have a bouncy castle and lots of other games to play." Scott

 

"I like boarding because it gives us a chance to stay away from home, to sleep in a new place with lots of different things to do." Jake

"I like boarding because we have people come from Forest Green Football Club to train us for football games." Lucas

 

"I like it because they read us stories at bedtime." Keiran
