Mulberry Bush School


The Mulberry Bush School is an independent residential special school in the village of Standlake in Oxfordshire, for children aged 5 to 12 years.
The school was founded in 1948 by self-taught psychologist Barbara Dockar-Drysdale with the backing of the Ministry of Education and the Home Office. She and her husband were co-principals until 1962.
The school is a registered charity.
The Mulberry Bush School is the subject of a BBC documentary film, Hold Me Tight, Let Me Go, directed by Kim Longinotto.
