(UK) Richmond: School opens resources for kids with social/emotional/mental health needs

Oct 20, 2022, Richmond.gov: New specialist provision at Teddington School https://www.richmond.gov.uk/news/october_2022/new_specialist_provision_at_teddington_school

SW London

A new specialist resource provision has been officially opened at Teddington School. The bespoke accommodation, which caters for children and young people who have social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs, has been funded by Richmond Council.

Teddington School, which is run by the Bourne Education Trust, is Ofsted rated ‘Good’. The new provision opened in September with a first cohort of three pupils and will grow in time to a maximum of ten….

Cllr Penny Frost, Chair of the Education and Children's Services Committee, said: "This is fantastic news, as it will enable another ten children with special educational needs to be educated locally, within their home borough, rather than having to travel much further afield….

Paul Grills, Headteacher of Teddington School, said: “I am immensely proud to be Headteacher of an inclusive school which houses such a fantastic facility. Over the coming years our aim is to work closely with the SRP staff to ensure the students within the unit receive an excellent education; we look forward to giving them access to not only mainstream lessons but also the wider curriculum offer that will support their learning and development.”

This new provision will supplement the additional SEND places established in the last few years at Windham Nursery, East Sheen Primary, Hampton Hill Junior, Heathfield Infant and Heathfield Junior, Hampton High and Orleans Park secondary school.
