Addressing the triad of specific features - social interaction,
social communication and social imagination - to reduce the effect
that the Autism Spectrum has on children’s learning
The School
Introduction from the Principal
Primary Education
At the Primary Phase, Baston House School will offer a specialist education that includes the National Curriculum to pupils aged from
5 to 11 years.
The main focus will be to address the barriers to learning that pupils on the Autism Spectrum encounter, namely communication & interaction difficulties and problems with flexibility of thought and action.
A strongly visual learning style is characteristic of the Autism Spectrum and our curriculum will therefore be delivered through a visually biased range of strategies, including highly structured work-systems and learning environments.
Our Speech & Language team, along with other specialists, will support the development of our pupils’ communication and interaction skills as they experience a broad curriculum.
Positive reinforcement will include individually meaningful reward systems that motivate our pupils to participate in activities and to begin to take responsibility for their own learning.
Close liaison and co-operation with parents/carers is seen as essential in providing continuity and consistency of approach for our pupils.
Lessons Commence 9.05am
Break 10.00am - 10.15am
Lunch 12.15 noon – 1.00pm
School Ends 3.30pm
