Who We Are
Holmwood School is a primary school for children with a wide range of special needs. It caters for children from nursery age to the end of Year 6.
Holmwood specialises in educating children with social, emotional and mental health difficulties, autism, speech and language difficulties and cognitive difficulties.
The pupils come from the whole of the Middlesbrough area and beyond which includes a wide social mix and an average ethnic representation. We cater for 80 pupils, however we currently are significantly over subscribed.
Over the last few years, our Outreach Team supported over thirty primary school. This involved support for hundreds of pupils with challenging behavior.

The KS1 Support Centre
| The new provision was developed in partnership between Holmwood School, the Access to Education Team and SEN & Vulnerable Learners Services of Middlesbrough Local Authority. The Support Centre intendeds to complement existing provision not intended to replace existing SEN provision or procedures. The main aim of this development is to provide additional capacity to support pupils with additional needs. As part of this development, via advice, Holmwood School will support initiatives intended to help Mainstream settings manage challenging behaviours, which sometimes emerge across a wide and diverse population. Through placement opportunities plus the advice and support for staff, it is hoped that this development will help build capacity for not only a support place at Holmwood School, but also the sharing of expertise and good practice to enable Mainstream settings to meet the needs of their diverse population. |
Purpose
| The objective of the Support Centre is to develop a pupil academically, socially and emotionally which would allow them to transfer these skills to become successful within an appropriate provision. |
Number of Places
| Capacity of the Support Centre will be 10 full-time equivalents across KS1. Each placement is will be assessed after 10 weeks to discuss the future steps. The review process will be arranged by Holmwood School with the primary school. |
