Introduction to Novalis Trust
Founded in 1954, Gloucestershire-based charity Novalis Trust is dedicated to the provision of care, therapy and education for children and adults.
The charity owns and operates Cotswold Chine School, William Morris School and Paradise House. Whilst each organisation retains its own identity, they all share the same ethos, values and organisational approach.
Our Approach
Our approach – known as the Novalis model – draws on the latest practice and research by some of the world’s leading practitioners and academics. The model involves a trauma-informed and evidence-supported approach which promotes positive relationships and secure attachments within a therapeutic low arousal environment.
