As the new school year approaches, many families feel the pressure of shifting routines, changing environments, and heightened emotions – especially those raising neurodiverse children.
At Cambian Group, we understand how challenging this time can be. That’s why we’re proud to be working with Mumsnet this August to offer practical, compassionate support for parents navigating the return to school.
Sharing real-world strategies
Through this collaboration, Cambian’s education and care specialists are sharing real-world strategies that can help reduce the likelihood of meltdowns, create calmer routines, and promote emotional well-being during the transition.
While we know that no solution works for every child, our goal is to provide tools and insights that genuinely support families – whether it’s building predictability into daily life, using sensory tools, or simply starting small.
We’re also amplifying the voices of parents and young people, highlighting their stories and suggestions to foster empathy, shared understanding, and community.
Network of specialist schools
This campaign builds on Cambian’s broader mission to support neurodiverse young people – not only through advice and resources, but through our nationwide network of specialist schools, many of which include integrated residential care.
Whether living and learning in a residential setting or attending one of our therapeutic day schools, children and young people benefit from joined-up, tailored support that helps them thrive both academically and emotionally.
Fifth consecutive Outstanding rating
A shining example of this excellence is Whinfell School, which has just received its fifth consecutive Outstanding Ofsted Inspection, marking 20 years of excellence.
In the video below, Michelle Turner, Whinfell School’s Head of Education, shares how Whinfell empowers students – not just to succeed in education and achieve their personal best, but to grow into confident, capable individuals beyond the classroom.
