SEND Provision

Crayford Primary provides an ASD Resource Provision (12 places across Nursery to Year 6) within the mainstream school. It offers autism-focused support with interventions in small groups, access to an alerting sensory space, a calming sensory room and the Rainbow Room for multisensory learning. Referrals come from the Local Authority; admission requires an Education and Health Care Plan and a clear autism diagnosis; children remain on the mainstream roll and participate in assemblies, celebrations and trips.

Admissions Criteria

For the ASD Resource Provision, criteria include: the child has an EHC Plan; primary need is Autism with a clear medical diagnosis; for Reception, formal/informal assessments indicate broadly average range; ability to verbally communicate without full reliance on communication aids; ability to manage some time in a mainstream class daily; admissions may be refused if capacity is exceeded or if there is insufficient evidence of autism, among other safety/partnership considerations.
