Seaton Sluice First School SSB - The Lighthouse
"Shining a light on inclusion"
At Seaton Sluice First School we are very proud to have a Specialist Support Base (SSB) called The Lighthouse. This is a provision for pupils aged between 4-9 who have EHC Plans.
As a designated SEND unit, we have 15 commissioned places for pupils whose EHC Plans name an appropriate specialist placement. Admissions to the SSB are managed by the Local Authority as part of the statutory EHCP processes, in partnership with the school. Pupils attending the SSB may require an individualised curriculum and a higher adult to pupil ratio.
The curriculum follows a theme every half term from schemes of work of the United Curriculum, as well as focusing on branches of the Cherry Garden Curriculum and children's outcomes in their EHCPs.
We prioritise and protect ongoing funding to provide additional support from SEND advisors and both NHS and Jigsaw Therapy who work alongside our staff. In addition to providing vital training to our staff, it also allows us to plan and deliver individual learning plans for each child.
For further information about this provision please contact the school or SEN Northumberland County Council.
