Welcome to Moorthorpe Inclusion Resource
Moorthorpe Inclusion Resource is a bespoke, personalised and enhanced mainstream setting for 5-11 year olds who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
We exist to meet the needs of children with a range of SEND, including Autism and Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs.
We support our children to improve their behaviours and skills for learning so that they can successfully rejoin classes with their peers.
What We Do
We provide a curriculum that follows the key elements of Moorthorpe School's offer, whilst also meeting the individual needs of each child (in line with their EHCP).
We provide a safe and supportive environment to develop learning at a pace that is appropriate for each child. We have 3 classrooms and our children are grouped according to the approach to learning that they need (rather than their age). We change how we use our classrooms based on the cohort of children we have at any time.
At the resource, we aim to:
· Offer a safe base.
· Develop 'ready to learn' behaviours.
· Develop self-regulation strategies so that children can regulate their emotions more independently (based on the principle that all behaviour is a form of communication).
· Focus on skills (including reading) that support children to become more independent.
· Offer opportunities that help to develop social skills and emotional literacy.
· Challenge and support children based on their stage (not age) of learning.
· Understand learning developmentally.
A large part of our efforts are to support children to join in classroom learning with their peers. Each child’s timetable may be different, depending on what they next need to be successful.
Our Curriculum
Because we aim for children to access lessons with their mainstream peers, we plan our curriculum alongside school. That means that we follow their topics and approaches so that transition into class is even smoother.
Some children follow a bespoke timetable for some parts of their school day (in line with their EHCP).
Joining our Resource
