What Can We Offer Your Child?

What Can We Offer Your Child?

Kew Gardens

The Swan Centre is designed to meet the needs of children who would benefit from the structure of the specialised learning environment we offer in Kingfisher, Otter and River Class. For some children integration into the main school is part of our offer.

Integration

For pupils who are able we offer some intergration into the mainstream school.  Pupils would intgrate into the same class each time. This is to enable consistency and to help the pupils to build relationships with both staff and their peers. We take a bespoke approach to integration taking into account each pupil's needs and abilities. Centre pupils will be supported in their mainstream class by a familiar adult, unless they are able to integrate independently.

All pupils integrate for lunch times and playtimes.

Specialist Input

Therapy services are provided by HRCH. We have an attached Speech and Language therapist who works part time across the Centre. She works with pupils 1:1 or in small group sessions. We also have a part time Occupational Therapist who works with the pupils to address fine and gross motor skills or any sensory issues.

Communication with parents and carers

As many pupils come to school on transport, communication with parents is done daily via our parent comms app School Spider. In addition parents/carers are encouraged to visit the Centre or to telephone staff at any time. Each child has a termly Individual Education Plan, an Annual Review meeting is held to review the EHCP and progress towards longer term outcomes.
