Children in resource provisions (RP) are placed on the role of the mainstream school in which they are attached.
Pupils will have an education, health, and care plan (EHCP)*. Places are allocated via the formal EHC consultation process.
RPs provide tailored curriculums that meet the specific primary special educational need and or disability of pupils. This may include increased staff ratios than that typically found in a mainstream classroom. Children typically wear the same uniform as their mainstream peers.
*Pupils at Oakhill Primary do not require EHC plan.
Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 (ages 3 – 7 years)
Primary needs: Communication and Interaction, Speech, Communication and Language Needs
Overview: Oakhill Resource Provision opened in September 2004 as a provision for children who have Developmental Language Disorder.
Although it is expected that children attend Oakhill Resourced Provision (ORP) for 4 terms, this is dependent upon progress and some return to their school earlier
Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 (ages 5 – 11 years)
Primary needs: Communication and Interaction
Overview: Children access teaching learning in a separate classroom when required, to follow the National Curriculum at their pace and the level at which they are working at. Children within the provision can and still access mainstream lessons as and when is appropriate for them.
Primary needs: Communication and Interaction, Speech, Communication and Language Needs, Hearing Impairment.
Overview: Worsbrough Common Resource Provision is a 16-place provision for pupils with significant speech and language difficulties in the form of 'Developmental Language Disorder'. Some pupils who access this unit may also have a hearing loss. Children have a primary need of SLCN (Speech, Language & Communication Need) with a diagnosis or working diagnosis of Developmental Language Disorder, linked to speech, expressive or receptive language. Some pupils may also have a significant hearing loss which has impacted on their speech and language skills and would benefit from using British Sign Language (BSL). This will be the child’s biggest barrier to learning at the time. The child’s cognitive ability will be broadly in line with their typical age, as assessed by an Educational Psychologist.
Primary needs: Communication and Interaction / Autism Spectrum Disorder
Overview: The Resource Provision at Meadstead Primary Academy was opened in January 2000. Meadstead aims to provide a high-quality education based on the needs of the child through a broad, balanced, relevant and excellent curriculum.

Overview: Our Resourced Provision supports 25 students with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) who require access to a mainstream curriculum. We specifically cater to pupils with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and/or Speech,
Language and Communication Needs (SLCN). We're committed to breaking down barriers to learning through targeted interventions and in-class support, ensuring every student has a truly exceptional educational experience. Our aim is to equip each child with the essential tools to develop social skills, independence, and resilience, empowering them to confidently take
ownership of their learning journey at every stage of their education.
Primary needs: Cognition and Learning
Overview: This provision was opened as Athena in September 2018. Enhanced Provision accommodates scholars both on roll at the school with an identified SEND and scholars with an EHC plan. The full broad and balanced curriculum is offered at Key Stage 3 but allocations to English and maths are significantly increased to aide accelerated progress in these fundamental areas.
Scholars enter the provision in year 7 and have the opportunity to graduate back into the mainstream school once they are working in line with their peers in English and maths. However, if a scholar is not ready to graduate by the end of year 9, they will remain with the Enhanced Provision until the end of Key Stage 4. In Key Stage 4, scholars embark on a comprehensive and bespoke set of qualifications, including options choices that allow them to study with mainstream school peers. This approach aims to help develop social confidence and broader subject knowledge in tandem with preparing them for life beyond
school post-16.
