The A Team

The A Team is a cohort of students that receive nurture-based provision. The aim of this focused intervention strategy is to provide support and guidance in a safe, and structured environment. A number of resources are designed to bridge the gap between home and school and aim to enable full access to the curriculum. Students are carefully selected according to their individual holistic profile of needs, identified using a dynamic assessment model, visits to the child in their primary school, as well as conversations with families and previous settings. A variety of tailored experiences, opportunities and resources are then employed to address these needs within a culture of trust, understanding and knowledge. 

Learning support takes place both in the classroom alongside the students and through targeted intervention usually delivered in one of our nurture classrooms. Designed to offer a safe and structured learning environment, the nurture classrooms are the base for a wide range of intervention for all students including: High Achieving Pupils, students with SEN, struggling readers and the A Team.

The nurture classrooms are also available at lunchtimes for students who may benefit from this environment at less structured times of the day.
