Welcome to the Resourced Provisions at Hoyland Springwood Primary
Communication Interaction Resourced Provision Information
Our team strives to meet the needs of our children who have ASD. They recognise that Autism is varied and complex, and adapt their practices to support each child’s progress. The Resource Provisions offers education for primary aged pupils who have Communication Interaction Needs. We have allocated spaces for fifteen pupils in our in school provision and ten further pupils in The Hub.
At Hoyland Springwood Primary Communication Interaction Resourced Provision (CIRP) we aim to:
• create a safe and secure environment
• provide high quality education based on the needs of the child
• provide a broad and balanced curriculum
• offer a high level of experienced support in order that each pupil can be included into the school community and activities as far as they are able to
• enable our children to begin to work towards an independent life

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 in close liaison 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.
Transport

What your child will study?
All pupils in the Resourced Provisions have access to a broad and balanced curriculum, differentiated where appropriate based on thorough on-going assessment incorporating P-levels, National Curriculum Targets and Early Learning Goals alongside individual targets. We aim to engage pupils in exciting and engaging learning opportunities that are based around their interests using specific autism supports to ensure that each individual makes progress not just academically but especially in the skills they will need for independent living.
Different approaches to autism
No one single autism programme or approach is followed at Hoyland Springwood and we vary based on the child's need. We may use :
* TEACCH
* Core Vocabulary Boards (VB)
* Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS)
* Intensive Interaction
* Makaton
* Positive Behaviour support strategies
* Social Stories
* Social Safety training
* Life and independence skills
More information on accessing help for your child with SEND
You can find out more information about getting support for your child with SEND and the local offer on our SEND web page.
To apply for either of our resourced provisions, your child needs to have an EHCP with specialist provision and communication interaction difficulties identified as a need.
Applications for both resource provisions are done through the local authority through the EHCP Team to ensure that the school is able to meet the needs of each individual.
