Enhanced Provisions

Rockpool class is an enhanced provision that runs alongside the EYFS and KS1 classes for children either with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) or are on the pathway to a diagnosis of ASC. Children in Rockpool class follow an adapted EYFS/National curriculum with personalised interventions to meet the needs of pupils who access the provision.  

Pathways are identified for pupils to either reintegrate into mainstream classes or to more specialist provisions with the support of professionals and in partnership with parents and carers.

Oysters class is an Enhanced Speech and Language Provision for KS1 at Barton Hill Academy. It is a small class of 10 children from South Devon and Torbay, who receive intensive speech and language therapy and specialist teaching to help overcome their severe communication difficulties. 

All admissions are administered through the Special Education Team at the Local Authority. Children attending the Unit have an Education Health Care Plan specifying their speech and language difficulties. 

The aim of the Enhanced Speech and Language Provision is to ensure that children acquire good language skills so that they can successfully reintegrate into their local mainstream schools. 

The children integrate successfully with the children at Barton Hill Academy during their time here and have access to playgrounds, assemblies, shows and educational visits to provide a rich and diverse learning experience.

Ocean class is a provision that supports our children in KS2 who have significant SEMH and other SEND needs that prevent them from accessing a mainstream classroom and are at risk of exclusion.

The provision identifies a pathway for these children, whether to support back into mainstream class or support application to alternative provisions as well as providing support, advice and resources to teachers and families for other children accessing mainstream class with SEMH and other SEND needs.

Specialist teacher and support staff in the provision provide an adapted curriculum to meet the individual needs of the children and work with other professionals to support children's progress, identify needs and complete RSA where necessary.
