About Us
Treloar’s is a charity that provides outstanding education, therapy and care to physically disabled young people, and empowers them to live more independent and fulfilling lives.
We support around 180 children and young people, aged 4 to 25 years, who come from across the country to attend our school and college. All of our students are physically disabled, many with complex clinical needs and a sensory impairment. We provide a fully inclusive, supportive environment where young people can learn whilst having therapy and care integrated into their tailored programme.
Mainstream settings and most specialist schools and colleges aren’t able to support the complex clinical needs of our students. Therefore, for most, we are one of the very few places, if not the only place in the country where they can access education and achieve outstanding outcomes.
We have 6 residential houses on our site, providing placements for students from age 11 upwards. Our residential provision offers huge opportunities to develop independent living skills and enjoy a social life beyond the school and college day. This, in turn, enables our students to experience greater independence and develop confidence working alongside trained support staff and engaging with their peers.
Uniquely, we are rated as “Outstanding” across the board with 4 regulators. This includes Ofsted who, in three separate inspections, have graded us “Outstanding” for our school education, college education and social care provision. Additionally, the Care Quality Commission have rated our college residential and clinical services as “Outstanding”.
We also offer a range of services, beyond the Campus, to the wider disabled community including residential flats for physically disabled young adults and specialist training for those who support them. Additionally, we hire out our campus facilities to local sports and activity groups and to other disability charities for residential stays during the holidays.

Values
We are Inclusive
Everyone - regardless of physical ability, where they live or their means - should have the opportunity to take part in life. We treat our beneficiaries with the same dignity as their non-disabled peers and work to remove barriers in their way.
Our students and beneficiaries are always at the centre of everything we do. Before we make
decisions, we ask, “How will our students and beneficiaries benefit from this?”
We act with Integrity and Respect
Physically disabled young people should be free to direct their own lives. We listen to young people’s views and support them to make age-appropriate choices about their daily life and informed choices about their future.
We celebrate and promote diversity, value and support each other, and treat everyone with mutual respect. We support a culture of openness, honesty and transparency, where the safeguarding of our students and well-being of our staff is paramount.
We strive for Excellence
Physically disabled young people and their families deserve outstanding care and support. We work to make sure all our services are excellent and actively challenge each other to ensure continuous quality improvement.
We continually innovate to ensure that our beneficiaries receive the cutting-edge, excellent support
they deserve.
