Maple View School Statement of Purpose

Children placed with us have a range and complexity of needs including:

Autism

ADHD

Speech, language and communication difficulties

Moderate to severe learning difficulties

Challenging Behaviour

Prader Willi Syndrome

We have a multi-disciplinary team approach which encompasses Education, Care and Therapy and ensures that all areas of our children’s Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCP) are met. We have onsite access to Occupational Therapy and Speech and Language Therapy as well as access to Physiotherapy and Psychology support. Each child has a bespoke Care Plan built around them. The level of support, the constraints of the environment, tolerance of peers and levels of risk, will be established by the multi-disciplinary team prior to the child joining Maple View. This will be combined to form a detailed Care Plan. The Care Plan enables and ensures the child is cared for in a nurturing and consistent way. In addition, each child has a Behaviour Support Plan, risk assessment and specific information to that child . The care plan will be shared with all staff working with the child to ensure a consistent approach across all settings and reviewed regularly. We welcome co-production, and value family and social worker input into these plans. Evidence of progress, achievements and celebrations are shared with family and is uploaded onto ‘evidence for Learning’, an electronic recording tool and shared with parents/carers and social workers. We understand that moving into a new home can be a significant and sometimes overwhelming experience for a young person. Our admissions and transition process is designed to be gentle, thoughtful, and relationship focused, ensuring each child feels welcomed, understood, and supported from the very beginning. To help create a sense of safety and connection, we use what we call the Maple View Bravery Bear. As part of the transition, every young person receives their own Bravery Bear to keep. This bear becomes a familiar, comforting companion that can stay with them throughout their move and beyond. Our staff also have a Bravery Bear in the home. During introductory visits, conversations, and check-ins, the young person is invited, if they feel comfortable to share what their bear has been doing, and we share what our bear has been up to as well.
