What Treloar does

Treloar is a UK registered charity (Treloar Trust, charity no. 1092857) founded in 1907 by Sir William Purdie Treloar, delivering integrated education, therapy, medical care and independence training to physically disabled young people aged 4–25. It operates two core divisions — Treloar School (ages 4–19, day and residential) and Treloar College (ages 16–25, with Level 2/3 pathways including a partnership with HSDC Alton College) — supplemented by Campbell Court independent living for ages 18–35, six accessible residential houses, a Health Centre, and a Transition service supporting post-Treloar's pathways. Service delivery is built on a 25-acre purpose-built accessible campus in Holybourne, Alton, Hampshire, staffed by 800+ multidisciplinary professionals (teachers, physiotherapists, OTs, SLTs, nurses on 24/7 cover, dietitians, counsellors, assistive technologists) who deliver wrap-around care as one coordinated team rather than discrete appointments. The organisation educates 170 students from 23 counties across the UK and Ireland, with all three OFSTED inspection regimes rated Outstanding (College 2023, School Residential 2023, School February 2024). Underlying technology centres on a bespoke assistive technology function producing 3D-printed adaptations, eye gaze integrations for iPads and AAC devices, and powered wheelchair controls, working alongside the Ace Centre for specialist AAC assessments.
