The school prioritises building confidence and preparing students for independent living, academic, and vocational success through a tailored curriculum that meets individual needs and interests.

The ethos of Heathermount revolves around creating a safe and supportive environment where students can thrive. The school employs a team of dedicated staff and therapists who work collaboratively with families to unlock each student's potential. Emphasis is placed on mental health, emotional resilience, and the development of essential communication and social skills, ensuring students are well-prepared for further education, training, or employment.
