Welcome to the Lodge at Nursery Hill Primary School. The Lodge is a Communication and Interaction special resource provision with spaces for up to 10 primary age children with an Education and Health Care Plan. Entry to this provision is via Warwickshire County Panel and not through a mainstream placement.
The Lodge is led by a qualified teacher Miss Patel and supported with a team of TAs. The priority is for pupils to access education in a setting that is supportive to their needs and allows them to access specialised provision with the opportunity to attend mainstream classes where it is appropriate. This gives children a sense of belonging to the wider school, extends their friendship groups and allows an experience of working in a larger group.
Each day starts with sensory activities before registration. Sensory activities are integrated into the daily timetable to support the individual child’s sensory needs throughout the day, whenever needed.
Each morning, children follow the National Curriculum led by staff experienced in working with children with additional needs. Children follow a personalised curriculum. A known timetable is followed daily. Learning experiences are optimised as staff scaffold learning when children are calm and ready to learn. Literacy and Numeracy skills are developed alongside supporting social and emotional needs, in an effective learning environment. Staff support children develop an awareness of their feelings and emotions, helping them to develop strategies to enhance self-regulation skills.
We are excited to be providing this provision for the children of Warwickshire with the support of the Local Authority. For more information on Warwickshire Resourced Provision and information about the county admission process, please click on the link below.
