The staff are experienced in SEND needs and have received training from North East Autism Society along with continuing support from the Local Authority Autism Advisor and Specialist Teaching Assistant. The students will always have access to the Hub provision and the Hub staff throughout the school day if needed.
The aim of the Hub is to enable students to access the mainstream school and its curriculum but with the level of support they need to succeed within this setting. When in the mainstream classes, students will be supported. Places at the Hub will be allocated by the Multi-Agency Support Panel or the Resource and Support Panel. There must be written evidence of ASC traits or a diagnosis of ASC.
Transport will be arranged if appropriate.
Students who are offered a place at the Hub at Freebrough will undertake a supported transition into the Hub. Both home school and The Hub will liaise with young person and their caregivers to co-ordinate a timetable to enable them to begin to attend. This may initially be a reduced timetable but will be built up to full time as soon as the student is able to manage this successfully.
11-16
Children must have an EHCP and have either a diagnosis of ASD or be on the pathway for a diagnosis.
Places are allocated by Redcar and Cleveland Local Authority.
