Our Enhanced Learning Provision (ELP) has two classes, they are known as the Discovers. The classes work closely together so that the specific needs of individual pupils can be met. The ELP classes are supported by our team of experienced teachers and teaching assistants as well as our SENDCO.

The ELP learning environment is set up across two classrooms and an outside learning area. The children also have access to all other areas in the mainstream school including the dinner hall and extensive outdoor grounds. Every opportunity is taken to include our Enhanced Learning Provision pupils in mainstream activities whenever possible. Pupils are encouraged to take part in mainstream school clubs.
