Additionally Resourced Provisions are educational provisions within a mainstream school. Their main purpose is to support children with additional learning needs to make better, more sustained progress with the planning and learning being best suited for their particular needs. ARPs can provide specialist and targeted support for children with special educational needs (SEND), particularly trained teaching staff, as well as environments, planning and lessons being adapted to effectively support the learning, the behaviour and the social & emotional needs of each child within an ARP class. Each ARP can provide and specialise in a specific area of learning needs, so choosing which ARP can best support your child is key. Visiting different ARPs for tours can be very helpful to make this decision.
At Monteagle, we are an ARP provision based within a mainstream school. Our ARP has been open for many years, opening our doors in September of 2011. We were the first primary school in the borough of Barking and Dagenham to open a provision offering specialised education to pupils with Autism. We began with a small number of children being supported in one class, to now supporting 36 children daily with their learning and social and communicative development
We support children between ages 5-11, from Reception year up to Year 6. Classes are organised according to developmental stage and age, with around 8 to 9 children being supported by at least 2 adults. Some classes will have up to 3 adults, predominantly for the younger children who may need support in nappy changing and personal care daily.
