Since then, the school opened a secondary department in September 2018, following a material change inspection in July 2017.

The current headteacher took up post in September 2016. The school is owned and operated by a registered charity, directed and managed by a board of trustees. There is a governing body that oversees the education and therapy provision at the school. On the same site, the charity provides a paediatric therapy centre for mainstream outpatient children. The therapies include physiotherapy, occupational therapy and hydrotherapy. Various outpatient clinics are also on-site, targeted for orthotics, dental, continence and wheelchair needs. The charity does not consider the school a ‘therapy school’. It ensures that Vranch House School offers no more therapy than at any other school for which the charity is commissioned to provide services.
