Treloar School and College is a non-maintained special school and college for disabled children and young people aged from 2 to 25 based at Holybourne near Alton, Hampshire, UK.
This is the main aim at Treloar School and College and this is achieved through a combination of Teaching, Care, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Speech and Language Therapy.
The school and college are administered by Treloar Trust a registered charity. Many people refer to one or all of the Treloar trinity (School, College and Trust) as "Treloar's" and indeed the official logo is "Treloar's: Enabling Education".
The Treloar story starts in 1907 when the then Lord Mayor of the City of London, Sir William Purdie Treloar, set up a 'Cripples' Fund' as his mayoral appeal. His aim was to build a hospital and school outside the city for children with non-pulmonary tuberculosis. On 13 June that year he wrote in his diary that Her Majesty Queen Alexandra 'came to Mansion House to open the Queen's Fete in aid of my Cripples' Fund'. In 1908, Sir William opened his school and hospital in Alton, Hampshire. Since then, Treloar’s has steadily grown and developed, becoming one of the country’s leading providers of education, care, therapy, medical support and independence training for disabled young people.
