Communication and Interaction Resource Provision

The Resource Provision at Meadstead Primary Academy was opened in January 2000. The Resource Provision offers education for primary aged pupils who have Communication and Interaction Needs. We have allocated spaces for twelve pupils.

At Meadstead Primary Academy CIRP (Communication and Interaction Resource Provision) we aim to:

• create a safe and secure environment

• provide high quality education based on the needs of the child

• advance the education of children with autism and encourage them to reach their full potential

• provide a broad, balanced, relevant and excellent 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

STRENGTHS OF THE COMMUNICATION AND INTERACTION RESOURCE PROVISION:

• developing and encouraging children's learning by using their strengths and favourite things both as an incentive and as a reward

• using play as an essential part of children's learning through both adult and child led activities, building trust and developing social and emotional learning 

• encouraging independent communication at every opportunity, providing opportunities to make choices and requests throughout each day.  

• providing varied opportunities for the children to learn life skills and independence both in their personal life and in their learning

• supporting the sensory and behavioural needs of children
