Specialist Resource Provision at Sauncey Wood Primary School

Specialist Resource Provisions (SRPs) are centres attached to secondary and primary mainstream settings across Hertfordshire. Pupils attending the SRPs have access to a mainstream curriculum, but the stress of a mainstream environment is reduced and they have a safe space to be in where their needs are met. 

Children attending the SRPs don't need a special school, but do need additional support so that they can access learning in a mainstream school.  The SRPs are for children and young people with:

• a developmental language disorder and / or a severe motor speech disorder (developmental verbal dyspraxia)
• a social communication and social interaction difficulty who may acquire a diagnosis of autism

The Specialist Resource Provision at Sauncey Wood is called Willow.  We take pupils from both KS1 and KS2 in our SRP and the children have access to an adapted and individualised mainstream curriculum. Pupils spend the mornings in Willow, where they are supported to develop their social and communication needs; in the afternoons pupils spend most of the time in their mainstream classes, although this is not fixed.

If you feel that an SRP would be the most suitable setting for your child, your first step would be to speak to your child's current school.
