At Piper’s Vale Primary we have three Specialist Education Units (SEU).
Our first SEU is for pupils in EYFS/Key Stage 1 and caters for up to 12 pupils with Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD). Our second SEU caters for 6 pupils in EYFS/Key Stage 1 with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) and our third SEU which caters for 6 pupils in Key Stage 2 also with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD). Each provision follows the mainstream curriculum adapted to meet the needs of the pupils and pace of learning. The curriculum is divided further into bespoke learning areas to meet individual pupils’ developmental needs. We use the ‘Assess, Plan, Do, Review’ graduated approach to meeting pupil’s needs as a continuous cycle.
To attend one of our SEUs a pupil will need to be referred to us through the Local Authority via the annual review process, organised by your current educational setting. This would also include going through the process of obtaining an EHCP if one is not already in place. For any families wanting to find out more, please contact our school office and ask to speak to our SEU Manager/ SENCo.

Pupils in the specialist resource base have a personalised curriculum that all adults take responsibility for implementing.
The complex needs of these pupils are well understood by the adults who care for them. Staff know how to adapt their teaching, so that pupils access the same ambitious curriculum as their peers.
