Hive Rationale/Mission Statement

The Hive is a Resourced Provision supporting 18 KS2 children, which is a part of St Michael in the Hamlet Community Primary School. The Hive consists of two classes, each with 1 teacher and 2 support staff. 

The aim of the Hive is to create an enabling environment where each child can learn, socialise and explore independently, taking ownership of their learning journey. We aim to form a safe, predictable area where each child can fulfil their potential alongside their special interests. We aim to produce a bespoke curriculum to complement and enhance more formal learning, incorporating sensory breaks, opportunities for structured social time, emotional regulation and independence alongside the National Curriculum in hoping to break down barriers to learning. Whilst building a strong link with home to ensure a consistent approach in meeting the child’s needs.

Pupils referred to the Enhanced Provision will have:

  • A diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or be on the neurodevelopment pathway.
  • A full range of cognition from moderate learning difficulties to average range.
  • Pupils with an Enhanced Provision place or referred for an Enhanced Provision place will have significant demonstrable difficulty accessing the curriculum within a mainstream setting with reasonable adjustments made for them.
  • All pupils accessing the Enhanced Provision will have their needs identified formally through an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) or will be under assessment.
  • Placements in the Enhanced Provision will be made by the LCC’s SEND Team.
