| Four Winds stands proudly on the A39 at Clovelly Cross and is well named as in the winter winds blow from every direction! The house is indeed a home with a warm welcoming atmosphere. Up to four young people live at Four Winds and young people tend to live there for a long time, putting roots in the local community and making friends. |
| As well as four single bedrooms there are two bathrooms on the first floor with a lounge, kitchen-diner and a conservatory as well as a small area where the unit computer is located. Although the house is large the overall sense is that of a family home. |
| The gardens are modest but have a fantastic set of views. Four Winds is located close to the dramatic North Devon/Cornish coast and the kids and staff spend a lot of time on the local beaches. |
The staff team is experienced and highly motivated. Organic food is introduced to the diet wherever possible and ‘junk food’ and fizzy drinks are discouraged.
|
| Education can take place either within the home or within main stream provision; often it occurs in partnership with part-time attendance at main stream and part-time home tuition. the school bus stops outside the house. |
| “The core of our education policy is to meet the needs of the individual young person” |
| Four Winds is located 10 miles from Bideford and is on a main bus route. Young people who live away from the area use the train station at Tiverton Parkway and weekend home visits are possible to almost anywhere in the country. |
