Welcome to our School
The Devon Hospitals' Short Stay School provides education for children in hospital in Devon.
We teach on two sites:
- Bramble Unit at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, Exeter
- Caroline Thorpe Ward at the North Devon District Hospital, Barnstaple
We also have our Home Tuition and Outreach Service offering continuity of education for young people who are unable to attend school. Our aim is to support children as they get better, helping them build confidence to return to their own school.
This is based at the West Exe Children's Centre and we also work in homes and remotely.
Christmas Break
The School Rooms at the RD&E and NDDH and our Outreach Centre and Service will finish on Friday 20th December for the Christmas break.
We will be closed from Monday 23rd December to Friday 4th January inclusive.
We hope you all have a good break, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday 6th January.
