Rainbow SEND provision

Our Rainbow room has been created in response to the increase in complex communication and interaction needs amongst our children.

A group of pupils from across school attend Rainbows every afternoon to support them to improve their receptive and expressive language needs, increase their vocabulary and develop social communication skills.

Our aim is to enable pupils to access a bespoke curriculum using an early years foundation stage model of provision. Teaching in Rainbows is led by the SENDCO and covers all non-core curriculum areas.

The key principles and purpose of our Rainbows provision:

• To equip pupils with skills which enable them to successfully navigate the

 learning environment be independent learners.

• To access a range of subjects through a full curriculum offer.
• To develop a range of communication skills which allow them to participate in

positive interactions.

• To expose pupils to language of conversation and key vocabulary that will enhance their opportunities to talk about their learning.

We also work very closely with Speech and Language Therapists, Kirklees Specialist Provision’s CCI team and cognition and learning team to ensure that each child’s learning journey is specifically tailored to their individual targets and needs.

We aim to deliver a bespoke and individual learning experience for our children based within a nurturing environment where children feel happy, safe and valued.
