The Monteagle ARP, is an additionally resourced provision for children aged 4-11 with Autism Spectrum Conditions. The children who attend have an array of needs and are on different levels of the spectrum. Our ARP strives to aid every child’s progress in academic and social skills and this is achieved by putting plans in place that are tailored to individual needs. Our specialist teachers and support staff work with external professionals, for example Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists, who contribute to each child’s developmental plan.
Three of the ARP classrooms are located alongside the mainstream classrooms within the main school campus. The ARP also has classrooms in a separate building next to the main school campus. Whichever classrooms our children are based in, all at Monteagle make sure every child is part of the school community and that they feel included and play an active part in school life. This is one of the benefits of being a school-based provision. We aim for every child to spend some time in the main school although this is based on children’s abilities and needs within the context of a mainstream classroom.
At present, there are thirty-six places within the ARP at Monteagle, and in total 54 children benefit from the specialist support it provides through two SEN Internal Provisions.
We have strong links across the local authority with other ARPs, enabling us to grow our expertise in this area, increase our investment in specialist teachers and strengthen our links with external professionals.
