High quality interventions / The provision of assistive technology

Spotlight: High quality interventionsLeaders and staff have secured a wide range of high-quality specialist provisions and interventions that successfully support all pupils. For example, the school’s ‘Launchpad’ provision offers highly engaging approaches to encourage pupils to interact with and develop trust in adults as well as support their emotional regulation., Staff use role-play gaming, radio, and animation projects effectively to build pupils’ confidence and self-esteem. Parents and carers value this provision and comment that it has a life-changing impact on their child. Pupils are prioritised for this support based on need, and they continue in the programme until significant progress is made in their emotional regulation. Importantly, pupils can return to ‘the Launchpad’ should they need to re-engage with trusted adults at a later stage.Spotlight: The provision of assistive technologyThe provision of assistive technology, including the gaming and virtual reality room, also has a profoundly positive impact on pupils with complex mobility needs. It offers authentic, meaningful choices in virtual environments. Whether driving a car or virtually riding a bike down a mountain, pupils are empowered to experience activities they would otherwise be unable to access, significantly enhancing their sense of independence and participation.
