Rainbow Room
Our Rainbow Room is an accredited DFE Specialist Unit that caters for children who are autistic, who are in the process of a diagnoses of autism or are being assessed for specialist placement. We have three full time funded places for identified children with an EHC plan.
We are also able to provide for shorter sessions to cater for children that need some time in a quiet, well-resourced area with a high level of well-trained adult support away from the classroom. All our children in the Rainbow Room are part of a mainstream class and will join in class activities as much as possible to ensure inclusion. There are many trips and activities that these children enjoy together including trips to the beach, local café, theatre and cinema to name but a few.
