Edinburgh

The refurbishment of the hydrotherapy pool at Leader Valley School is a Specialist Equipment & Facilities project in Edinburgh, and has been awarded a grant of £23,620.

This project aims to provide pupils with additional physical needs access to tailored hydrotherapy sessions that support mobility, relaxation, and rehabilitation, and is set to have a significant impact on the wellbeing of pupils at the school.

Leader Valley School’s mission is to nurture today’s young people and inspire tomorrow’s leaders by encouraging pupils to live a life enriched by the values of Service, Teamwork, Ambition, and Respect.

This new hydrotherapy pool, with the opening date of 21st August 2025, provides a safe, accessible, and therapeutic environment designed to help children with disabilities or complex needs improve their physical abilities, confidence, and overall wellbeing.
