0DR,

High Grange School’s multi-disciplinary approach incorporates best practices and autism-friendly strategies and supports in order to meet the educational needs of students who have ASD. Our students learn how to develop and use effective compensatory strategies to overcome difficulties in social and emotional processing, communication and flexibility in thinking and behaviour, all of which can combine to have a negative impact on their learning. The design of the school; its environment and facilities; and the structure and delivery of our educational programmes are created to reduce the stress and anxieties often associated with an autism spectrum condition. Our enabling teaching approach provides multiple physical and practical opportunities as well as visual supports for learning. This helps students to achieve their full potential by understanding and dealing with personal challenges while making the most of their abilities and strengths. Managing expectations realistically is a core part of our educational programme. Individualised Learning Plans are created for all students with input from the school’s specialist therapists. These plans include strategies to enable students to manage their anxieties; to regulate their emotional responses; and to reduce or eliminate negative and inappropriate behaviours which are preventing effective learning and positive social interactions. During the school day students have access to a varied and stimulating curriculum. The Classes are grouped by Key Stage and students are taught in small groups of up to 6. Teachers use detailed planning to ensure each individual is enabled to achieve in all areas. Classrooms are well-equipped and include specialist facilities for Music, Art & Design, D&T, Science, Computer Science and ICT, Food Technology and Performing Arts. High Grange has excellent PE facilities, including a swimming pool, large gymnasium, hard court areas and extensive grassed areas.

St Paul’s is a very special school, filled with warmth and welcome. Our children are keen to learn and eager to be the best they can be. They behave with respect and play a key role in creating an environment which celebrates individuality. They make a positive, tangible contribution to the life of the school. Staff, children, families and parishioners alike are proud of our school and are committed to the community we have formed with Christ at its centre. I am privileged to lead a dedicated team of staff who keep the children’s best interests at the heart of everything they do. ‘We work together, learn together and pray together - we are one’. It is an honour to be leading St Paul’s to further success. Our key areas of focus this academic year are: Metacognition SEND Mental well-being Early writing Number fluency We are excited to continue our curriculum development, embedding our curriculum intent and implementation securely and consistently across the school, ensuring that all have a firm and common understanding of our curriculum intent and what it means for our practice.
