Additionally Resourced Provision

ASD/ Medical and Physical Provision

At High Tunstall College of Science, we offer an Additionally Resourced Provision for students between the age of 11 and 16 years with identified physical and medical difficulties and/or autism. The Local Authority fund 20 planned places for students with physical and medical difficulties and/ or autism and students are educated within the mainstream environment for majority of their lessons.

In November 2019 we entered our new purpose built building and the additionally resourced base was specially designed to cater for the needs of our most vulnerable students. We have a hygiene room, accessible toilets and 7 small teaching spaces available for students who have a place in the ARP away from the mainstream College, but can easily access the mainstream classrooms if deemed appropriate. We also continue to offer a Physiotherapy area and a Hydrotherapy Pool.

Places for the Additionally Resourced Provision are allocated via the Local Authority SEND Team. Students accessing this Additionally Resourced Provision will be placed on roll at High Tunstall College of Science.

Moderate Learning Difficulties Provision

High Tunstall Moderate Learning Difficulties Provision (MLD) is made up of students who have Special Educational Needs and/or Disability. Our students all have Educational Health Care Plans (EHCPs.) The provision provides a modified curriculum for our students who have attainments well below expected levels in all or most areas of the curriculum. Throughout their time in the MLD provision we aim to support and develop students’ skills of social interaction, independence, and life skills as well as promoting Maths and English skills which are essential for the students to interact within the world around them. We hope to provide positive, relevant and meaningful learning experiences which support our students to reach their full potential. The MLD provision will support students within the five areas of need within their EHCP. These areas are:

Cognition and Learning
Communication and Interaction
Social Emotional and/or Mental Health difficulties
Sensory and/or Physical Needs
Self-help and Independence
