The SRP

Specialist Resource Provision (SRP) for Dyslexia

Specialist Support Within a Mainstream Setting

The school's Specialist Resource Provision (SRP) is designed for up to 12 students in Years 7 to 11 who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) identifying dyslexia as their primary presenting need, often alongside co-occurring difficulties.

Access to the provision is through a formal referral process managed by the Local Authority panel and requires an active EHCP.

The SRP is a bright, welcoming and dedicated learning space attached to the Learning Support Department, equipped with a wide range of specialist resources to support learning and development. These include specialist equipment, multisensory materials, reading schemes, TRUGS (Teaching Reading Through Games), and targeted literacy intervention resources.
