Heron Class
What have we been learning this week?
Week Commencing Monday 14th September 2026
Firstly, I would like to give a very warm welcome to our new students and families. I think everyone can agree that they have very quickly become part of life in Heron Class and I am very proud of how everyone has adapted to their new normal.
This week, we have been reading The Tiger that Came to Tea and singing I'm a Little Teapot. We have been using "Bucket Time" to build up our attention during sessions and enjoyed taking turns to make cups of tea with our tea set. We have also been making tiger and teapot collages on our independent art table. In maths, we have been working on the place value of numbers and how we can use the "part-part-whole" method to make addition facts to 5.
Important days in our week - Autumn A:
Please remember to look at the newsletter for class and year group specific events happening this term.
Heron Class - Resourced Provision for Children with Autism.
Our Resourced Provision for children with Autism opened in September 2025. Children’s places are funded by Hampshire Educational Authority and spaces are allocated through County systems.
Our Resourced Provision consists of a main classroom and an enclosed outside play area. Both the classroom and garden have a range of features and resources to support curriculum, sensory and regulation needs.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage framework and the National Curriculum, adapted to meet individual children’s developing academic needs. Children in the Resourced Provision are expected to join some lessons in a mainstream class. This helps children develop their social, communication and academic skills. This offer can vary for individuals and is flexible, based on their individual needs and skills.
If you wish to find more information about the school’s Resourced Provision, please contact the School Office on 01252 613582.
Please note that whilst we are happy to show you around the Resourced Provision, it is the Local Authority that offers children a place and not the school.
