At Keyingham Primary School, we aim to help all of our children unlock their potential. In order to do this, we recognise that our pupils are individuals and that some may need an alternative approach to support them to achieve. We believe in the philosophy that children learn best when they have good levels of self-esteem, a sense of belonging and resilience, this is what we hope to achieve through our Enhanced Resource Provision.

What is an ERP?

An ERP is a facility in mainstream schools, with additional funding, to build up expertise and resources, in order to work with pupils with Social and Communication difficulties . (Pupils may or may not have a diagnosis of Autism). and have high level needs, who may live outside the area normally served by the school.

The ERP at Keyingham comprises of two dedicated provision areas (one downstairs area known as “The Hub”, predominantly for Reception and KS1, and one upstairs area known as “The Sub Hub” predominantly for KS2) with access to both indoor and outdoor learning opportunities.

Where possible, pupils accessing the ERP are supported to transition into a mainstream classroom for at least part of their learning. Staff work closely with class teachers to ensure academic progress. Adult support in the ERP is fluid and the pupils working in the room will work with different adults from this team at different points within the day. This enables pupils to build relationships with several key adults. Pupils from all ages within the school may access the ERP and this helps to develop the pupil’s social skills. The amount of time that pupils spend in the ERP will be dependent on the needs of individual pupils.

Our curriculum provision in the The Hub is currently aligned with our EYFS curriculum.
