Welcome to Phoenix House Residential Care at Oak Lodge School.
Our Residential Care provides a safe and nurturing environment which allows our young people to develop skills to become indepent and develop their d/deaf identity. We offer residential boarding Monday- Friday for young people who attend Oak Lodge School and have an EHCP and additional support with social development, from Wandsworth Borough and across London. You can find out more about residential life at Phoenix House, activities, independence and much more in this area.
Phoenix House offers up to four nights a week, term-time boarding for students aged 11-19 years. Accommodating up to 19 students per night, the unit is staffed by a professional team who specialise in working with young D/deaf people with additional needs.
"Staff enable children to make exceptional progress in their communication, behaviours, social skills and independence. All parents and social workers spoken to talked about children’s excellent progress and the invaluable experience that children get from being in a signing community." Ofsted 2021
