Chestnut
Welcome to Chestnut
In class Chestnut we have 11 pupils and 4 adults. The adults are Rhianna (teacher), Sean (TA), Chelsie (TA), Orla (TA) and an additional (TA).
Teaching and learning in Class Chestnut is highly personalised to meet the individual needs and learning profiles of each pupil. Learning takes place through a combination of whole-class teaching, structured small-group sessions and targeted 1:1 support.
Pupils access a balance of practical, play-based learning and more formal learning opportunities, including early literacy, phonics, mathematics and communication. Multisensory approaches, Attention Autism and practical activities are used to promote engagement and independence.
Communication, social interaction and independence are embedded throughout the school day. Sensory and movement breaks are incorporated where needed to support regulation and readiness to learn, while adults model and scaffold positive interactions with peers and engagement in learning.
