They moved into their present building in 2002 and are fortunate enough to have purpose built provision which includes sensory and soft play rooms, a hydrotherapy pool, specialist curriculum classrooms and spacious grounds which are currently being developed.

Music on Wheels (Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire) - in progress

The new ‘Music on Wheels’ (MOW) pilot project aims to improve the social, emotional and spiritual care of children and their families & carers by providing community music therapy in the counties of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. The MOW project presents an opportunity for the music therapy service to be very efficient because many of the children who use the local Pasque Hospice attend the same special school. This part time appointment (4 days per week) re-commenced in February 2008. We are grateful to the following funders for their support: BBC Children In Need, the Major Simon Whitbread Charitable Trust, and IBC Vehicles Ltd.
