At Dishforth Airfield Primary School, we are passionate about inclusion and offering all children access to a rich and varied curriculum, whatever their needs are. We are very excited to have had the opportunity to create a provision for children with significant Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs (SEMH).
The aim of the provision, is to provide an inclusive bespoke education and to increase opportunities for children and young people with SEND so that they can access mainstream education together with more specialised small group interventions and support.
We offer full time places for 6 children and young people with an Education, Health and Care Plan and 2 ‘flexible’ places for children needing to access the provision for short term assessment and support. Led by our highly experienced TMP Lead, staff have access to a range of training opportunities so that they are able to meet the needs of children and young people with SEMH needs. Children within the Targeted Mainstream Provision will have access to a range of interventions as well as academic opportunities so that they are able to have a positive and enriching experience of school life. Each child will have a personalised timetable and curriculum in line with their year group and their needs.
We are lucky to have a separate classroom which compromises of a large, informal learning space, with a small sensory room and outside space with cover.
The local authority is responsible for allocating places within our Targeted Mainstream Provision (TMP). This usually occurs as part of the young person’s Annual Review if they already have an EHCP or as part of the statutory EHCP (Education Health Care Plan) assessment process.
