Welcome

Leaders in Supportive Education

Ellern Mede Schools offer high-quality, therapeutic education in a safe, secure, and inclusive environment to those who may be in-patients at ne of our Ellern Mede Hospital partners for eating disorders or, at our Ellern Mede Orange Tree site, those who are not hospital in-patients but may have complex, multi-faceted needs such as Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH), high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and anxiety of depression and who would benefit from a specialised education that is focused around their needs.

We believe that with the right care and support, our students can leave us prepared for study and work, play an active role in their communities, and lead happy, curious lives.

"The team at Ellern Mede Ridgeway and Ellern Mede School taught me the invaluable lesson of loving myself and people around me, and thanks to them I now lead a life free from an eating disorder.”
