Therapies
The school enjoys joint sensory activities between class and in addition to this we have a soft play zone, Swing room and Sensory studio.
These offer the pupils the opportunity to learn about cause and effect, experience a wide range of sensory stimuli and the space to interact with others in a calm, relaxed atmosphere.

Speech and Language Therapy
Speech and Language Therapy
Speech Therapy is provided by the East Coast Community Heathcare.
The therapist supports the teaching in school. Staff follow therapy programmes and guidance to ensure consistency for our pupils. The school follows the Total Communication approach and uses sign language (Signalong), symbols and other communication aids to assist pupil's communication. The school actively promotes the use of PECS across all areas of learning and is using the strategies promoted in TEACCH to assist pupils on the Autistic Spectrum.
Our Communications Team liaises closely with the Speech and Language Therapist from the local health service. In addition our Resources Assistant works across the school producing resources, implanting SLT plans, and supporting any pupil where help with communication has been requested.
Staff follow therapy programmes and guidance to ensure consistency for our pupils.
