Resource Base - Waterfall Class

Our resource base is currently for children aged 4 – 7.   This is expected to expand to 7 – 11 from September 2025.  It offers a low-stimulus environment and a high adult to child ratio, and staff with specialist knowledge of social communication difficulties.  A speech and language therapist works with the children once a week.   Children will access our mainstream curriculum at least part of the time and will be attached to a mainstream class, which they will spend some of their time in, as appropriate to the child’s needs.

Children must:

• have an Education, Health and Care Plan
• have a diagnosis and primary need of ASC
• be able to communicate verbally
• Have the potential to be able to access a mainstream curriculum and environment up to 50% of the time
• be within the learning range of average capability to moderate learning difficulties (within 2 years of age related expectations)

To apply for a place in our resource base, consultation must be made via your local authority’s SEN department.
