Individual and group therapy sessions take place in the classroom, in therapy rooms or in the community.
Children are taught in small groups, typically 3 to 5 children and individually in Key Stage 1 —Key Stage 4. Children are grouped according to their age, ability, communication style, social dynamics and sensory needs.
Teaching Assistant's, Residential Support Workers and therapists work alongside the teacher which promotes a consistent approach and support.
The school day is from 9:00 - 3.00 Monday – Friday.
CHILDREN’S HEALTH Children are supported with all areas of their health and wellbeing. We have built strong links with the local health professions who provide bespoke services to meet the individual child's needs. This includes GP services, dentists and opticians. Any health concerns are immediately referred to the Head of Care/Registered Manager and Leadership team, health professionals and parents. Staff are trained in all relevant medical conditions to meet the children’s needs. If a child should become ill or have an accident requiring medical attention, their parents or the responsible adult will immediately be contacted. Only competent, medically trained staff are permitted to administer medication and hold a key. All staff are appropriately trained in First Aid which is reviewed regularly in line with training requirements. All of the children are encouraged to eat healthy and have varied diets that take in to account medical, cultural and health requirements. The team are creative when it comes to supporting children with choosing healthy foods and look at ways of making mealtimes fun, whether it be encouraging the children to join in with cooking, baking and preparing the food with staff support, or finding fun ways to encourage children to try foods they are not used to or usually don’t like eating.
