Outreach Service
Riverside Community Special School Outreach
“Inclusive, Inspiring, Empowering- Every child can shine”
At Riverside Community Special School, our Outreach Service is built on a shared belief that every child is unique and valued.
We work alongside primary schools, nurturing strong relationships and offering compassionate, specialist support to help children feel safe, understood and ready to learn. Our experienced team works collaboratively with school staff, sharing knowledge, ideas and practical strategies that are tailored to each child’s individual strengths, needs and experiences.
Whether you are seeking advice, guidance or support with a particular child or wider approaches to inclusion, we are here to listen, understand and work alongside you. Together, we can create nurturing environments where children are supported to build confidence, develop independence and experience success.
About Riverside Special School
We are a primary school for pupils who have special educational needs, including those with social and communication difficulties, autism, speech and language difficulties, and learning difficulties.
What is purpose of Riverside Outreach?
Hampshire County council have commissioned Riverside to work with our mainstream colleagues to support them to provide a truly inclusive learning experience that meets the needs of all pupils.
Our goals:
By sharing and advising on different strategies and resources we aim to support practitioners to become more confident in delivering and sharing good practice within their own settings. This can include:
· Training on the best practice to support pupils with autism
· Advice on how to support pupils to become independent learners.
· Sharing and offering advice, expertise and experience to develop curriculum access and planning.
· Supporting teachers to differentiate the curriculum, related resources and support materials.
· Understanding behaviour as a communication.
· Supporting teachers to provide a class environment that is inclusive to all children.
· Action planning
