We have two Nurture spaces, ‘Patch’ which supports our younger children in school and the ‘Den’ which is our dedicated space for Key stage Two children. The groups run throughout the day with small groups of learners with our Nurture staff. We also have our internal SEND provision called the ‘Hive’ and our TLC room that is used to run small group interventions, in particular, SEMH.
