INTRODUCING THE GREENSIDE OUTREACH SERVICE

The Greenside OUTREACH service is funded by The Local Authority in line with their service level agreement.  The service is delivered to mainstream Primary for pupils in Reception and at Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 within DSPL 2 (Stevenage and the surrounding area). Our OUTREACH is delivered in partnership with Woolgrove School. It is delivered by serving practitioners who have worked in both mainstream and special schools.

Greenside is an all age special school for learners with severe or profound learning difficulties and Woolgrove is an academy for primary aged children who have learning difficulties.

Both schools have extensive experience and expertise in working with children and adults with Autistic Spectrum Conditions and are accredited by the National Autistic Society for their work with autistic learners. Greenside and Woolgrove have experience in supporting teachers and assistants in mainstream schools.
