About

Vranch House Charity Pinhoe Rd, Exeter EX4 8AD Vranch House is an Independent Day School for children with complex physical difficulties. The school is approved by the Department for Education. It is owned and maintained by the Vranch House Charity. Vranch House School provides unique learning opportunities for children aged 2 to 19 with significant physical difficulties.

Children may experience associated difficulties including: visual impairment and/or hearing impairment, speech, language and communication needs, severe, multiple and profound learning needs or complex medical needs. Educational and clinical work is integrated in a curriculum developed specifically to meet the challenges these children face both now and in the future.

The physical and associated difficulties might arise from a number of clinical causes such as spina bifida and head injuries but the majority result from cerebral palsy. The main components of the integrated programme of work are teaching, physiotherapy and speech and language therapy.

Regular paediatric clinics are held at Vranch House for children attending the school and centre. Interested parents are welcome to visit by contacting the Head of Education. An indoor heated hydrotherapy pool is shared with Honeylands Children's Centre.
