Welcome to the ASD Resource

Mrs Kedar is Teacher in Charge of the Resource. Miss Pullan teaches us in the Resource too. There are lots of adults who support us during the day with our learning and life skills.

We start the day in the resource with calm and quiet activities designed to get our brains ready for learning in school and end the day with a quiet story and prayer so that we are calm and ready to go home.

Our new Resource is amazing. We have one large classroom which can be made into two smaller rooms if necessary. We have a separate social space where we have snack and lunch, do bucket time and other activities in the afternoons. We have lovely views out of the windows and the playground is great.

Some of us use the resource as a base and spend most of our time in class alongside peers, while others do most of our work in the resource because it is a quiet and safe space where we can work without being overwhelmed.

When we go to class, we learn alongside our peers and do all the same lessons as the other children in the class, doing English and maths in the mornings, and then each afternoon enjoying a rich and broad curriculum often taught by subject specialists. We are supported in class by an adult who knows us really well and can help us when we need it,  yet encourages us to be independent when we can be.

We do phonics every morning and are becoming more confident in recognising our sounds and this means that we are will be able to be wonderful readers. We love having stories read to us and are keen to share what we think.

Each morning we do English and maths too and enjoy using the new interactive whiteboards as part of our learning.

In the afternoons, we enjoy ‘Bucket Time’ which is fun. Our afternoon lessons are taught through practical activities, games and play. We enjoy SPEC, Art, PE and Outdoor Ed with our classes too.
