The Additionally Resourced Provision supports children with a range of needs. Our experienced and well-qualified staff work with an extensive multi-disciplinary team to achieve the best outcome for each young person.

Classes are split into:

• ARP D - Early Years and Key Stage 1 (9 pupils, 1 class teacher, 3 learning support teachers)
• ARP G – Key Stage 2 (12 pupils, 1 class teacher and 4 learning support assistants)

Drayton Green has an onsite Speech and Language Therapist (two days a week) and Occupational Therapist (one day a week) to work with the ARP pupils and train our staff to ensure that strategies are implemented daily.

ARP children attend the mainstream school for part of their day where appropriate. This could be playtimes, specialist subjects (Art, PE) or whole class learning. This process goes at the pace of the child. ARP staff work closely with mainstream staff to ensure needs are met across both settings.

Exit Criteria

The child:

• Has made expected progress in all areas of the National Curriculum.
• Is motivated to learn, is becoming more independent and can learn alongside peers in a mainstream class.
• Can work in groups with some oversight from adults.
• Can communicate their needs and manage their self-care independently.
• Can manage their stress levels with minimum adult support.
• Can develop friendship networks with adult prompts.

OR

• The ARP provision is unsuitable for the child’s special educational needs and therefore they require more specialist provision.

All decisions will be discussed with, and planned by, the teaching teams, parents and the young person in consultation with the Local Authority. If a change in placement is agreed, a carefully planned transition program will be completed to appropriately prepare the young person for the next stage in their learning.
