Cognition & Learning Hubs
Blossom and Acorn Rooms
Children within these hubs receive a bespoke curriculum to support early reading, early writing and maths at their developmental stage along with nurture. Our Blossom room currently supports children in Year 2 and Acorn supports children in Years 2 and 3.
Children within these groups have an EHCP and are supported through Top Up Funding. Their steps in learning and development are at their own level. Activities are planned that meet each individual's need and stage of development. Communication development is at the heart of all planned activities to support the children in being as independent as they can be.
Chestnut Room
Our cognition and learning groups for children in Key Stage 2 are for children working at a key stage lower than their chronological peers.
These groups run each morning for English (including phonics/spelling, reading and writing) and maths. Children will attend the group as appropriate. This may be for English, maths or for both. The curriculum for these groups is pitched at an appropriate level to challenge and address any gaps in learning so that children are given the best opportunity to make rapid progress.
Our cognition and learning groups also allow identified children to work alongside peers that are working at the same level as them.
