Special needs and Inclusion at Elmhurst

At Elmhurst we welcome all children from the community and offer many skills and facilities to enable all children to be included in the life of the school. We have a sensory room, mobility room, hygiene and medical room. All of our teaching and non teaching staff receive specialist training in order to support our children's additional needs.

We pride ourselves in our caring and inclusive approach to learning.  Inclusion is a dynamic process which is ever changing.  Children are educated in and out of the classroom, depending on the lesson.  All of our children are included in the RML programme and learn in small groups or in a one to one situation.

We operate a 'Person Centred' style in which children are fully involved in all aspects of their learning and adults are used flexibly and according to their skills and strengths.
