We strive to provide the highest possible standards of therapeutic care and education and nurture to our children, continual support and development of our colleagues and workforce, investment into and improvement of the facilitating environments, and increased understanding of the Leadership & Management Task.
The Lioncare Group is committed to offering a therapeutic living-learning environment that works for the children and adults, around whom it has evolved.
We continue to work hard at meeting and exceeding the standards expected and demanded by our Regulators and through the SCCIF Inspection Framework; we are very pleased that our efforts have been publically acknowledged through Ofsted judging Westfields and The Lioncare School as being “Good” overall, and especially judging Springfields as being “Outstanding” overall. We continue to strive to achieve “Outstanding” in all areas of our practice undertaken across The Lioncare Group.
We are very appreciative of the dedication, commitment, and personal investment given by all the adults working in our school and homes, and we thank you all.
We welcome and encourage visits by anyone seeking to place a child in our school or our homes, so you can form your own opinion as to how well we are doing.
