WELCOME TO OUR SITE!
Elysian is an Animal Assisted Therapy and Learning provision. We facilitate Education, Therapeutic and EOTAS placements for children and young people.
We work with children and young people with anxiety and a range of complex emotional and mental health needs. Our age range for placements is 10-17yr, with some occasional exceptions where we will accept 8+ (e.g. for social communication sessions on particular dates and/or for individual therapy).
‘Pupils are happy to attend and settle in quickly. Staff take great care to understand pupils’ social, emotional and mental health needs. The school’s animal assisted therapeutic approach is highly effective in allowing pupils to express themselves in a nurturing environment..’
OFSTED 2022
We asked young people – ‘Do you feel safe at Elysian?’
Young People’s Consultation November 2022
We asked parents and carers for their feedback on our provision in November 2022, and this is what they said:
‘Elysian is a very special place for building confidence through animals and experienced staff..’
‘You might not believe this, but I think you have saved my child’s life…’
‘I love the staff at Elysian’s approach to my child, they seem to ‘get him’ when a lot of people don’t..’
