Behaviour Support Service
The Behaviour support is an eclectic service that delivers bespoke packages in collaboration with class teams and therapy services as detailed in individual Behaviour Support and Risk Reduction Plans (BSPs) including:-
Team Teach
The whole school team are trained in Team Teach which emphasises CALM communication and employs de-escalation skills that work best for specific individuals concerned, acknowledged within their personalised Behaviour Support and Risk Reduction Plans (BSP).
Positive Physical Interventions are only used as a last resort and are underpinned by Addington’s values and principles of positive, educative care. There is an emphasis on individual human rights, responsibility, choices and consequences.
Team Teach strategies are flexible and yet robust enough to make us all feel free of fear and safe from harm.
Over 95% of all incidents are managed without recourse to Positive Physical Interventions.
Addington School has 1 Advanced Team Teach Trainer and 6 Intermediate Team Teach trainers, available for in-house training and training within the Wokingham Authority.
Access Classes - Beech, Kingfisher, Hazel, Birch and Sandpiper
Our Access classes use highly personalised programmes to support pupils with complex social, emotional and sensory needs. Each pupil within those class settings has a bespoke timetable with varying degrees of demand placed on them to maximise their engagement and develop sustained attention and positive social interaction.
