Effective EBP schooling - A view from the inside

In December 1997 OFSTED visited Underley Garden School in Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria, a residential school for girls and boys aged 9-16 with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD). They were able to write a very positive report indeed and urged the school to write up for publication its perception of what it does that seems so effective. This article is our response to that request and is based on a series of interviews between members of staff and the school's full-time Chartered Educational Psychologist.
