When a parent requests a place at our school Brent SEN department will consult with us to establish if we are able to meet the child’s needs. This is the same for out of borough pupils as we are a community school. It is important to match the right learning environment and curriculum to the child as in this way the child will develop with confidence.
The school caters for pupils who are able to access the national curriculum when it is appropriately differentiated and modified to enable pupils to access learning. The approach to learning is highly structured and positive, with low levels of arousal. Pupils may have a mixed profile of attainment or moderate learning difficulties. All pupils have EHC plans with ASD and associated behaviour as their primary barrier to learning.
Pupil’s will be able to develop verbal communication but may need additional support such as Makaton and visual cues. They will have developed some self-help skills and have the potential for greater independence.
Pupil’s may have challenging behaviour linked to ASD and would benefit from a specialist approach to managing their needs.
A full admission criterion is available from the school or SENAS upon request
