Welcome to the Resourced Provisions at Hoyland Springwood Primary
To apply for either of our Resourced Provisions, your child needs to have an EHCP with specialist provision and communication and interaction identified as the primary need. Applications for both Provisions are made to the Local Authority through the EHCP Team to ensure that the school is able to meet the needs of each individual.
Please call the school for more information, applications for either Provision which are made to our mainstream school WILL NOT be accepted.

Working closely with parents
Once your child has been given a place, there will be a thorough transition, in liaison with yourselves as parents and with professionals working with your child. Our school works closely with parents, often with daily contact. For parents who bring and collect their child, there may be face to face meetings. For those who travel on the school bus the contact may be through Home - School Books, phone and email.

What your child will learn?
All pupils in the Provisions have access to a broad and balanced curriculum, differentiated where appropriate based on thorough on-going assessment incorporating Engagement model, Development matters, progression steps, Autism Progress and National Curriculum Targets, alongside individual targets. We aim to engage pupils in exciting and stimulating learning opportunities that are based around their interests, using specific supports to ensure that each individual makes progress not just academically but especially in the skills they will need for independent living.
