Grove
Welcome to Grove - Our Specialist Provision
In our Grove setting, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive within a nurturing and inclusive environment. Situated on our mainstream school site, Grove provides specialist provision for pupils with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC).
Our dedicated team delivers a personalised and structured approach to learning, ensuring that each child’s individuality, strengths, and potential are recognised and celebrated. Through close collaboration with families and the wider school community, we support every pupil to make meaningful progress and enjoy success in all areas of school life.
Our Vision
Grove is a place where learning is inclusive, purposeful, and inspiring. We are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment in which children can develop confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
By combining the benefits of a mainstream setting with specialist expertise and tailored support, we enable our pupils to achieve their best — academically, socially, and emotionally.
Our Curriculum
We follow the EQUALS framework, which provides a flexible and child-centred approach to curriculum design. Our teaching and learning are carefully tailored through three curriculum pathways, ensuring that every pupil’s needs, abilities, and interests are met:
🌱 Informal Pathway – for pupils at the earliest stages of development, focusing on engagement, communication, and interaction through sensory-rich and play-based experiences.
🌿 Semi-Formal Pathway – for pupils who benefit from a structured yet flexible approach, developing key skills in communication, cognition, and personal development.
🌳 Formal Pathway – for pupils ready for more subject-based learning, promoting independence, curiosity, and preparation for the next stage of education.
Each pathway values progress in its widest sense – celebrating achievements in learning, well-being, and personal growth.
Our School Community
With 16 places across two small, supportive classrooms, we offer a close-knit and caring community where every child is truly known, understood, and valued. Our highly skilled staff team work collaboratively with families and professionals to ensure that each child receives the right support to thrive.
Growing Together
In our Grove provision, we see every learner as a unique individual on their own journey. Together, we nurture curiosity, confidence, and kindness – helping each child to grow their own way.
