Welcome to Eden, our ASC Resourced Provision.

Mrs Gittins and Miss Sudlow support our children over lunchtime. 

More About Eden

Eden is our 10 place resourced provision at Upton Westlea for children with a diagnosis of Autism.  Places within Eden are allocated by the SEN assessment and monitoring team at Cheshire West and Chester. All children who are allocated a place have a diagnosis and an EHCP (Education Health and Care Plan). 

Curriculum and Learning

In Eden, children are taught using a thematic, multi-sensory approach to learning. We constantly strive to engage children in a broad and balanced curriculum, whilst prioritising the aims of the individual targets on their EHCPs.  We aim to base learning around quality texts and provide learning experiences that are pitched to their individual needs and interests.

Every child has a Personalised Learning Plan where we look at their individual targets and areas of interest.   Every child is unique and so too their curriculum should be.

We aim to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum, tailored to the needs of the individual children and will include all areas of the Early Years and/or National Curriculum. 

Our children are grouped according to their developmental stage and level of need. 

Our Mighty Oaks and Mini Oaks children are able to follow subject specific learning and will access a highly differentiated form of the National Curriculum. 

Children in Early Years or those beginning to engage in subject specific learning will become a

Little Acorn.  

Our Seedling children who are not yet able to access subject specific learning will follow The Engagement Model and will experience a sensory, SALT based approach.  We are currently working alongside professionals from other Specialist settings to develop and refine this.  

We aim to engage all learners by following their areas of interest and striving to motivate and inspire them.  

 As staff we liaise closely with outside agencies such as SALT to deliver individual targets and strategies such as Intensive Interaction and Sabotage.

Attention Autism is incorporated  into daily activities.

PE

PE will take place every Monday and Friday morning. Please can you ensure your child comes into school wearing their full PE kit (White PE T-shirt, Black/Navy leggings/ tracksuit bottoms, Black/Navy hoodie) This includes appropriate footwear. 

Some children will integrate into their mainstream classes for PE too and this information will be shared via Dojo.

Forest School

Forest School will take place every Tuesday morning. Please can you ensure your child comes into school wearing their Forest School clothes, suitable for outdoors and they must wear a suitable coat and footwear. It is highly likely your child will need a change of clothing, as we go out in all weathers. 

If you have any questions, queries or problems please do not hesitate to ask a member of staff or message me on class dojo.

We ask that all children are provided with a pair of wellies that they leave in school.  

Reading at home

We strongly encourage children to read at home as often as possible.  Depending on the age and stage of the child, this may involve sharing books, book banded books or novels in both fiction and non fiction.

Children gain a great deal from being read to by an adult or older sibling.  Reading to your child from birth, even for just a few minutes a day, gives them the comfort of hearing your voice and it increases their exposure to language.  Through hearing stories, children are exposed to a wide range of words. This helps them build their own vocabulary and improve their understanding when they listen, which is vital as they start to read.
