Alder Brook Plus

Alder Brook+ is a specialist provision for pupils in Early years, Key Stage 1 & 2 who have an Education Health Care Plan. The primary need within the provision is Social, Emotional & Mental Health (SEMH). Alder Brook+ supports pupils who can access the academic learning environment through differentiation and additional resources.

The aim of the provision is to support pupils in reintegrating back to mainstream settings including the pupils with EHC plans, where it is appropriate. Alder Brook+ offers a safe, nurturing environment following the National Curriculum with a bespoke take on the curriculum to meet the needs of the pupils. Pupils have access to regular therapeutic intervention and nurture sessions run by trained support staff. All staff regularly undertake a range training to support SEND.

The school endeavours to achieve academic progress for every pupil through individualised planning, differentiated teaching, on-going assessments and end of term assessments. Each pupil accesses interventions to support their progress in the core areas of the curriculum daily.
