‘Getting it right for our children in an environment to thrive.’
Welcome to Squirrels!
When our children need a little extra support, we offer them a nurturing and inclusive environment.
Woodbank Primary School we are passionate about promoting inclusion for children with Special Educational Needs. In addition to our mainstream classes we have a 12 place Resourced Provision (often referred to as an RP) which we have named ‘Squirrels’. Squirrels is for children in Year 1 to Year 6 who have Education Health Care Plans (EHCPs), require additional support to that typically available in mainstream classrooms and are being assessed for or have a have a diagnosis of Autism. Children who access Squirrels are on roll in a mainstream class and will spend some time there each week according to their needs and abilities. They access some of their learning in our dedicated Resource Provision classroom.
Factilities available in Squirrels included: a sensory room and a quiet room, both with padded walls; dimmable lights for sensory needs, a sensory rich environment with a range of accessible regulation available - trampoline, spinners, weighted blankets, body socks; enclosed outdoor area; fobbed entry and exit; nappy changing facilities; visual and signalong support in communication.
