SEND Provision

The Hive provides nurture provision for social, emotional and mental health needs; it is a structured provision opened in Spring 2021 where small groups of children attend, typically four mornings a week, designed to meet academic, social, emotional and developmental needs. The provision follows Nurture UK principles, including understanding that learning is developmental, ensuring a safe base, building self-esteem, using language as a tool for communication, recognizing that behaviour communicates needs, and supporting transitions. The aims are to raise achievement and inclusion, develop relational regulation and restorative approaches, and enable collaboration with outside agencies when required. The Inclusion Manager, Mrs Sharon Marsh, can be contacted for more information.

Admissions Criteria

Oversubscription admission criteria: 1) Looked after children and previously looked after children; 2) Children who live in the linked area (Brixworth and Scaldwell); 3) Children with a sibling continuing at the school at the time of admission; 4) Other children.
