The children attending our Hubs, have significant and complex needs. These are children who require a highly individualised curriculum approach differing from that which is offered in the mainstream setting. The children have funded places by the use of a SEN Support Plan or an EHCP. It enables them to attend a low arousal, rigid environment which provides everything that they need in order to become as independent and communicative as possible in order to grow within both the school and wider community. Most of our pupils attend the Lantern Hub whilst awaiting specialist provision placement. 

This has been planned for using the the Autism Education Trust documentation. Links will also be made to the EYFS Curriculum, Birmingham SEND continuum’s and an adapted version of the schools mainstream curriculum.

The advise of SALT, CAT Team and Educational Psychology has been sought in order to meet individual pupils needs and targets.

Our Curriculum Planning

The planning in the hubs has Communication and Language at the core of everything it does. With this being the prime area of the children's needs and plans it is crucial that this is a key element of everything that is completed. 

The core planning has been written in collaboration with a SALT therapist from Talk Therapy. This is then implemented by key worker staff who have a max of 2 children to build on next steps.
