Peacock Class

Welcome to Mundesley Infant School SRB for pupils with Social Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH)

Who We Are

We are a Special Resource Base for pupils in Key Stage 1 who require additional support in order for them to remain in mainstream education.

The process to request support is to first contact the SRB Lead Teacher, Mrs Lucy Cass by either email or phone:

srb@coastalfederation.com

01263 720401

Mrs Cass will be able to discuss the pupil you require support for and the level of provision that has already been put in place and why the support of the SRB would be appropriate. An observation will need to be carried out by the SRB Lead Teacher before a referral is considered at panel.

What We Do

Our class is called Peacock Class, we support children with SEMH needs using Thrive, ELSA, personalised curriculums, play based learning, cooking, outdoor curriculum, mindful meditation and bespoke strategies developed to support individuals with emotional regulation and their mental health. We also have access to all of the infant and junior school play equipment including a fort and adventure play area.

Pupils attend the SRB Monday to Thursday, spending every Friday at their home school to put in place the strategies they are learning and for staff to understand how best to support them.

Home school staff are expected to visit their pupil in the SRB setting. This gives everyone involved the opportunity to discuss what is working well for the pupil and the areas of development the SRB are working on. Previous home schools report that it is the observation and discussion of therapeutic strategies with SRB staff that give them the best insight into how they can help their pupil long term.

Communication

Everyday we write in the SRB Home School Communication Book. This is for parents and carers to read at the end of each day to track their child’s progress and get vital feedback on what they have been learning. Everyday there is a section for parents to write in. Every friday the Home School has a section to complete to ensure we are tracking the pupils in all settings and getting them the right support.

Peacock Garden

At the beginning of 2019, Mrs Cass applied for a grant from The Sugar Tax, and we were awarded £2,500 to change an unused sensory garden into the beautiful Peacock Garden. In our garden we have a Bell Tent which is full of soft and fluffy blankets and pillows, perfect for story time and snack time. A lovely handmade Mud Kitchen where many a delightful mud cake and pies have been made. The Maths Hut to make maths fun and engaging. Potion bottles, water play items, wooden building sets, bug hotels, small world play and lots of interesting, educational resources and sensory items. The garden allows us to have a continuous provision for the children and ensures we are always able to access outdoor learning opportunities. We follow the Norfolk Assessment Pathway Outdoor Curriculum and have developed an outside tuff table curriculum. It is a fabulous addition to our therapeutic provision and is enjoyed by the children and adults alike!!
