Seaton Sluice First School SSB - The Lighthouse
"Shining a light on inclusion"
'The Lighthouse' is a very special place to learn! We are committed to supporting 14 children who benefit from a more personalised and bespoke educational experience within a supportive mainstream setting.
Our specialist support base (SSB) welcomes children with a range of learning and physical needs in a tailored environment, but also gives them the opportunity to be included as part of wider school life.
All of the pupils allocated a place within The Lighthouse have an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The specific objectives and goals within their plan are the key focus of their learning on a daily basis. This can involve a blended arrangement within The Lighthouse as well as accessing lessons with their mainstream peers.
The impact of this is that the children work on priority areas of their development. Progress is monitored through smaller steps where the children achieve ongoing success and raised self-esteem.
We prioritise and protect ongoing funding to provide additional support from SEND advisors and therapists who work alongside our staff. In addition to providing vital training to our staff, it also allows us to plan and deliver individual learning plans for each child. For further information about this provision please contact the school or SEN Northumberland County Council.
