The Otters and The Snow Leopards

Within Wildground Federation there are three Resourced Provisions. The Otters class caters for children with an EHCP for social emotional and mental health needs. The Snow Leopards class and Zebras class caters for children with ASC needs. The timings for our day are 8:45am - 3:15pm.

These provisions are designed for those children who require a specialist environment within a mainstream school. We enable children to access a full, rich mainstream curriculum in a supportive environment, where there are staff who have relevant expertise and knowledge.

Each provision has 8 places, funded by Hampshire SEN.

Children are allocated these spaces through County systems.

Children in Otters  normally spend most of their time in mainstream classes in the morning with friends but will also spend some time in the Resourced Provision to access the additional specialist help and support available there.

Children in Snow Leopards and Zebras normally spend more time in their RP as the environment is designed to ensure they are not overwhelmed. However, they also spend time in their mainstream class and are included in trips etc where possible.

Whilst in the Otters or Snow Leopards, children have a regulation support plan. 

Each child also receives bespoke interventions, such as zones of regulation and reflection time throughout the day to help with their SEMH or communication and interaction needs.

Please note that whilst we are happy to show you around the Resourced Provision after school, it is the Local Authority that offers children a place and not the school. 

The process for application for a place is usually as follows:

1. Annual review of EHCP - school advise they cannot meet need.
2. Hampshire SEN send consultations to various settings, including parents preferred choice.
3. Settings advise Hampshire SEN if they are able to meet need.
4. Hampshire SEN collate the  list of children for a monthly Panel meeting with Special schools and RPs to discuss children. 
5. Outcome of discussion and any proposed placements shared with SEN.
6. Hampshire SEN make a final decision and share any placements offered with parents.
7. Parents may agree or disagree with the placement offered. 
8. If parents agree a transition will begin in an agreed timescale.
