Elland House is a small independent special school that is registered to admit up to 20 boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 16 years who have social, emotional, mental health and behavioural difficulties. The school is part of the Timeout care homes company, which provides care in several children‟s homes in the north west of England and Yorkshire. The company also owns and runs Riverbank Primary School. The headteacher leads Elland House and the nearby Riverbank Primary School. The school is in a two-storey building on a small industrial estate situated in a residential area of Oldham. Since the previous inspection, the proprietor has acquired a mobile classroom, which is situated adjacent to the main school building and is mainly for key stage 3 pupils, who are taught together. Key stage 4 pupils are also taught together in a Inspection report: Elland House School, 4–6 June 2019 Page 10 of 13 classroom in the main building. All staff, including the headteacher, three teachers and two teaching assistants, are new to the school since the previous inspection. The number of pupils on roll has more than doubled, to 15. Almost all pupils are of White British heritage, and all have an EHC plan. It is common for pupils to be out of education for extended periods prior to entering Elland House. Some pupils attend the school for short periods and are reintegrated back into mainstream schools.
