We want all children in our Bases, regardless of their Special Educational Need, to feel valued, safe and they are encouraged to make the best possible progress academically, socially, communicatively and emotionally from their own individual starting point.

A Message from our Head Teacher

The SENDCo, Deputy SENDCo and I work with parents, professional services, schools and specialist providers to manage the complex needs of individual children and ensure the most effective and comprehensive support is available. We also work closely together in a timely manner to ensure the educational and specialist pathway is well-planned and effective for a smooth transition, when the time comes.

All staff are well-trained to support children with additional needs, which underpins our inclusive ethos. We expect excellent behaviour, kindness, respect and good manners from all of our children and in return we promise to provide an excellent education, within a caring school community.

We understand that it  can be difficult to decide  whether to move your child from their local area to access more specialist provision.

What is a Resource Base Provision /  SEN Unit ?

A Resource Base Provision / SEN Unit is a special provision within a mainstream school where the children with a specific type of SEN are taught mainly within separate classes.

The children in the Bases at Hemlington Hall Academy also have the opportunity to join mainstream classes, if appropriate, depending on the needs of the individual child.

Base Provision Overview

Our Provisions cater for children who meet some of the following criteria;

· Social, Communication and Interaction difficulties including ASD

· Developmental Delay

· Moderate Learning Difficulty

Our Base Provisions are able, where it is appropriate, to offer children specialist support for the whole of their primary school life (Reception to Year Six).

The Base provision structured like this;

Base 1— Resource Base Provision for 15 children from Reception to Year 2.

Base 2 — Resource Base Provision for 10 children in Year 3 and Year 4.

Base 3 — Resource Base Provision for 10 children in Year 5 and 6.
