Ivy House is a happy, supportive and purposeful environment where pupils are nurtured, praised and acknowledged for who they are, the skills they acquire and the tasks they accomplish.
Our pupils like to come to school. They are justifiably proud of what they achieve and enjoy celebrating not only their own successes but also those of their friends and other peers from across the school.
We have a highly motivated, professional and well trained team of staff who work collaboratively with parents, carers and other professionals to ensure that all aspects of our offer meet the needs of each of our pupils.
Ivy House truly prides itself on being a school that is;
Working together to Inspire, Nurture & Empower
which is crucial to the nurture and development of the whole child.
We encourage the development of a range of life skills at an individual level,
Including:
- communication
- physical
- cognition
- inter-personal and independence
There are many opportunities to develop formal skills too alongside the exploration of creativity and this is delivered appropriately for individual pupils.
We aspire to provide each child with a wide range of experiences, which will enrich their time with us and challenge them to succeed. We recognise that children learn and achieve at all levels and we celebrate this diversity throughout the year, with both families and friends of Ivy House.
Please feel free to Contact Us for any further information or to make an appointment to visit the school.

DFE Performance
All children at Ivy House School have an Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP).
This plan has been written and finalised by the local authority, with reports and supporting statements from a range of professionals.
This can often include physiotherapists, occupational therapists, educational psychologists and paediatric consultants.
Children are allocated a place at School through the SEND Team at Derby City Council.
If you would like to discuss your child's admission arrangements with the SEND Team, you can contact them on the following number:
01332 640758
You can also find more information about Derby's processes for Education, Health and Care Plans by visiting their website here

School SEN & D Report:
Schools have a legal duty under the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014 to publish detailed information about their arrangements for identifying, assessing and making provision for pupils with SEN.
At Ivy House this is in the form of the School SEN&D Report (which can be found on our Key Information page), which includes information about the arrangements for the admission of disabled pupils, the steps taken to prevent disabled pupils from being treated less favourably than other pupils, the facilities provided to assist access for disabled pupils and the schools' accessibility plans. We've also outlined the schools' arrangements for providing a graduated response to children's SEN, including the use of Education, Health and Care Plans.
