Horizon - Autism base and Mainstream SEND provision

SEND: Special Educational Needs
We offer monthly SEND tours in school, one specifically for the Horizon ASC base and one for mainstream SEND students.
Links to each tour are below, please complete the short Google form to request a place. Tour dates are issued on a month by month basis.
Please note the following before booking a Horizon Tour:
The base is a social environment, where children are taught in small groups and where individual teaching is not provided. It is therefore important that children attending the base can manage this environment and the associated expectations.
A child who needs 1-1 support as their main way of working and/or 1-1 teaching will not find the Horizon provision matches their needs. Nor is it appropriate for a child with extensive learning needs who needs a highly adapted curriculum as the Horizon base delivers a mainstream secondary curriculum leading to formal examinations.
The curriculum, and expectations of behaviour, are embedded within the mainstream context as would be expected of a base within a mainstream school. This means that children in the base must be able to access learning in a small group environment, and be able to tolerate others’ presence and those routine behaviours that come with teenagers.
