Management Information Sheet

Owing to the low take up of the Specialist Resource Base offer from Cromer Junior School, the range of pupils eligible for support has been broadened with immediate effect and will continue through the period of the SRB review until September 2014. The amended pupil profile can be downloaded from the Norfolk Schools website.
In addition to the existing ASD specialism the SRB will be able to accept pupils with the following characteristics:

Traits of ASD may be present as a secondary or emerging need alongside a primary need of Learning and Cognition or of Speech Language & Communication.

Traits of ASD may be present alongside, or as part of a mixed neuro-developmental disorder.

Children may have had support at KS1 in a speech and language SRB and may still be struggling in KS2 with aspects of communication and/or may require enhanced support to accelerate their learning to catch up with peers. Such children would not be deemed by SLTs to require ongoing direct speech therapy above a level normally available in mainstream schools, but it may be necessary to deliver daily speech and language programmes e.g by an ELKLAN trained TA.

Child’s difficulties with speech/language and communication may be secondary to, or form part of general learning delay or to emotional or behavioural difficulty. (e.g those associated with elective mutism, school phobia or trauma related to bullying) However, any challenging behaviour would not be at a level which could cause a threat or vulnerability to others placed in the SRB.
