The ARP curriculum works in tandem with our mainstream curriculum offer and many of our pupils attend learning in their year group classroom for part of the week. Our ARP provides a bespoke adapted curriculum to meet the specific needs of the pupils in the class. This balances core and foundation subjects with Speech and Language and SEND/EHCP targets to ensure all aspects of pupil development are met. Like our mainstream curriculum, some subjects such as Reading, English and Maths, are taught daily. Other subjects, such as Jigsaw, RE, Geography, History, Music, Art and Computing are taught on a cycle throughout the week to ensure that interventions such as SALT and life skills (OT) can be covered.

Prospective families may wish to get an idea of the ARP environment. On this page you will find some photos of the current ARP classrooms.
We are able to offer tours of the ARP by prior arrangement, we tend to group these to ensure minimum disruption to the pupil environment. Please call the school office to enquire.
Places in the ARP are allocated by the Local Authority SEN Panel.
All requests for placements must be made through the child’s present school to the SEN panel.
Pupils must have an EHCP and a diagnosis of social communication difficulties or ASD, with evidence that they are experiencing significant barriers to their learning.
Exit Criteria
Some pupils may need to be supported by the ARP throughout KS2. However, if the ‘level of adaptive skills’ for any of the pupils reached the point whereby they no longer required the additional support, then the Annual Review process could make this recommendation to the Local Authority (LA) on a case-by-case basis.
