As part of our SEND Provision, we are very proud to provide high quality support and intervention in different groups which take place throughout the school week. Children who attend these groups both enjoy and benefit from them.

Please see below a selection of the interventions we offer. We are also working towards gaining the Dyslexia Friendly Quality Mark for Education.

Drawing and Talking 1:1 and Group
Drawing and Talking is a safe and gentle therapeutic approach, which provides an effective way for both children and adults to process emotional pain or trauma they may be experiencing. We are delighted to have a Drawing and Talking Practitioner in school: Helen Fothergill, SENCO and Mental Health Lead

Decider Skills
The Decider Skills use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to teach children, young people and adults the skills to recognise their own thoughts, feelings and behaviours, enabling them to monitor and manage their own emotions and mental health.

ELSA – Emotional Literacy Support Assistant

• ·        Bereavement
• ·        Confidence and self-esteem building
• ·        Anxiety interventions
• ·        Circle of Friends
• ·        Talking Partners

IDL Cloud Literacy & Numeracy Intervention

As a school, we use the IDL cloud literacy and numeracy online intervention. This intervention supports children with developing their literacy and numeracy skills. 

Tummy Full of Fireworks
This programme is designed to encourage children to communicate their emotions in a more effective way. It helps them understand the reasons why anger occurs, how to recognise it and how to manage their feelings in a good way. It also teaches children coping strategies they can try to implement when they feel angry.

Socially Speaking Intervention
Socially Speaking is a programme which allows children to develop their self -esteem, their listening skills and their expressive language. These skills support the children in developing and maintaining relationships, and leading independent lives outside the school context.
Socially Speaking is a unique social skills programme that lasts a whole school year and is divided into three units: let’s communicate, let’s be friends, and let’s practice.

Time to Talk Interventions
School can be a frustrating and confusing experience for children who have not developed their communication skills. Not only will access to the curriculum be difficult, so will developing co-operative skills and friendships. This intervention has been developed to teach and develop oral language and social interaction skills to children aged 4-6. It aims to develop the "rules" of interaction with the help of the character Ginger the Bear, who features in all the activities.
Skills taught include: eye contact; taking turns; sharing; greetings; awareness of feelings; giving; following instructions; listening; paying attention; and play skills.

Write from the Start
The Write from the start programme offers an effective approach that will guide children through the various stages of perceptual and fine-motor development to lay the foundations for flowing, accurate handwriting. The approach has proved to be highly successful in a variety of contexts, and with children with a range of needs.

The programme contains over 400 carefully graded activities that develop the intrinsic muscles of the hand so that children gain the necessary control to form letter shapes and create appropriate spaces between words, alongside the following perceptual skills required to orientate letters and organise the page:

• ·        hand–eye co-ordination
• ·        form constancy
• ·        spatial organisation
• ·        figure-ground discrimination
• ·        orientation
• ·        laterality.

This cumulative programme is structured into 8 sections. At each stage, the photocopiable exercise sheets can be made into booklets so that pupils, parents and teachers can easily monitor progress and achievement.

Toe by Toe Intervention
Toe by Toe is a highly systematic page-by-page and step-by-step series of activities in one book, delivered one-to-one, with instructions for the ‘coach’ provided for each activity. It deliberately takes learners right back to the beginning of phonics and works up from there, based on the observation that many learners with difficulties seem never to have got the hang of phonics. Unusually, many of the stimuli are non-words in order to focus learners’ attention solely on decoding and avoid guessing based on any other ‘cue’. It is suitable for any child (or adult) with reading difficulties, especially those who have been diagnosed as having specific learning difficulties.

As part of our SEND Provision, we are very proud to provide high quality support and intervention in different groups which take place throughout the school week. Children who attend these groups both enjoy and benefit from them.
