When one of our young people first joined Cambian Whinfell School as a residential student, he arrived feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and unsure about what the future might hold. At first he struggled to leave his bedroom, school felt like an impossible challenge and believing in himself felt even harder.

At Whinfell we believe in connections before corrections. Our dedicated team takes the time to truly understand each young person, helping them move forward at their own pace.

Step by step, with encouragement and care, he started to believe in himself and see just how bright his future could be. He felt safe and secure at Whinfell and as a result began to enjoy his learning and went on to earn all of his GCSE’S.

Michelle Turner, Head of Education at Whinfell School, shares his remarkable journey a story that reminds us why we do what we do every single day.

Whinfell School has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted for 5 consecutive inspections! To learn more about the exceptional care and education provided by Whinfell click here: https://bit.ly/3TqFVnh

Christmas Comes Early to Cambian Northampton School

The Northampton Chronicle & Echo has featured a wonderful story about the young people at Cambian Northampton School and their festive trip to Welford Christmas Tree Farm!

This year, students visited Welford Christmas Tree Farm to choose a beautiful Norway spruce for their school celebrations and the best part? After Christmas, the tree will be repurposed for woodworking lessons, giving students a hands-on opportunity to learn new skills.

As Jayden shared, “I can’t wait to decorate the tree… and I’m really excited to build something amazing with the wood after Christmas!”

Two imaginative pupils from Cambian Scarborough School have recently joined forces with Hull Beats Bus to write and produce their very own original song!

From lyrics to beats, these talented students transformed their personal stories into powerful music - gaining confidence, teamwork skills, and a new outlet for creative expression along the way.

The result? A heartfelt track that captures their experiences, friendships and the courage it takes to step outside their comfort zones.

Click on the video below to hear a snippet of the wonderful song they created!

On World Children’s Day, we celebrate the rights, voices, and limitless potential of every young person. It’s a powerful reminder that all children deserve to feel valued, supported, and respected - not just today, but every day.

At Cambian, this belief is brought to life through incredible individuals like Bernadette Harker, whose dedication embodies what this day stands for. Bernadette, Head of Student Development at Cambian New Elizabethan School, was recently recognised as a regional winner of the Children’s Champion Award at the CareTech Care Awards.

Her tireless commitment, compassion, and drive to help young people thrive make her an inspiration to us all.

Today, we celebrate all those who, like Bernadette, dedicate their work to creating brighter futures for children everywhere. Together, we continue to build a world where young people can live, learn, and thrive with dignity, joy, and purpose.

Congratulations Bernadette!

We’re celebrating the incredible, long-standing partnership between Hill House School and Southampton FC a collaboration that continues to inspire and energise every student involved.

Our young people from Cambian Wisbech School and Brook View School took part in Remembrance Day activities, honouring those who have served and sacrificed for our freedom.

At Brook View, Purple Class thoughtfully created their own wreaths, beautiful collage poppies, visited their local war memorial and the whole school took part in a 1 minute silence.

Meanwhile, students from Wisbech’s Dragon, Dolphin, and Minnows class walked to their local memorial for the 11:00AM service, where they laid their wreaths with pride and respect.

Through moments of reflection, creativity, and community spirit, our young people demonstrated heartfelt appreciation and understanding of the importance of remembrance.

We provide a broad range of specialist services across England and Wales. These services include specialist education schools and colleges for both day and residential learners, residential care homes and a therapeutic fostering service.

Our specialist education schools and colleges support children and young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Asperger Syndrome (AS), moderate to severe learning disabilities, associated challenging behaviours and complex needs.

Our specialist residential care homes support children with social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH) and associated complex needs.
