Areas of School
At Kingfisher, the physical environment is of a high quality and supports our values and vision in providing the best we can and nothing less than the children deserve.
Children should expect:-
- An environment which reflects a Total Communication Approach where the basic right to communicate is paramount and achieved through a wide range of approaches and resources for example, signing, symbols, photographs, objects of reference, visual timetables, communication books and boards
- The environment to reflect the school’s shared and agreed values
- A safe, welcoming, well organised environment where they feel secure, included and valued and their access to learning needs are reflected in their class environment and within shared areas around school
- ICT to effectively support and enable their access within their environment and enhance learning and communication
- Disruptions to their learning to be well managed and minimised wherever possible
- Distinct areas within classrooms and within school where learning, care and health needs are met most effectively
- Flexible organisation which adapts to meet changing needs, allowing for “own space”, avoiding triggers to anxiety, minimal distraction and planned change
- Safe, stimulating and accessible outdoor areas
- Personal Care facilities to be age and need appropriate
