How does it work?

Pupils belong to a mainstream class and are fully involved inall school activiteis.

• Staffing includes specialist teachers, assistants and Speech and Language Therapists who work closely with mainstream staff to address pupils' individual needs.
• Support is offered within the whole class and within the Speech and Language Resource Base in a small group or individually.  The nature of specialist support depends on  your child's strengths and weaknesses.
• Specialist resources are available to support your child's access to the whole school curriculum.
• Each pupil will have a programme tailored to his/her specific needs known as an I.E.P  Termly meetings are held involving you and your child and staff to review progress and to agree new targets.
• Following the school's aims and objectives you are encouraged to be fully involved with your child's progress.  Additional support is offered using a Home/School Link Book and Parent Support Group.
• The LEA will usually provide free transport from you home to and from the school.

What happens next?

• The length of time which pupils spend at our school will vary but usually a pupil will stay as long as the specialist help seems appropriate or until the age limit fo the school is reached.  At this point parents can request a place at the school of their choice.
• When pupils transfer from the Resource Base to a different school, staff arrange liaison meetings with the receiving school staff and ensure that all relevant information is made available to them.
