At Broadmead Primary, we are building on the success of our Enhanced Learning Provision (ELP) at The Crescent Primary (also part of The Pioneer Academy), and opening a new ELP at our school, a provision for pupils with a diagnosis of ASD. Learning provisions offer appropriate placements for children and young people with the most significant needs, who require a curriculum which is wrapped around them so that they can engage in learning. Special Schools and ELPs form part of Croydon’s continuum of provision and services which the Council makes for children and young people with SEND. They offer a variety of provision through their different designations and distinctive areas of expertise. The ELP curriculum is topic based and includes a specific focus on teaching social communication skills, listening, speaking and attention. There is also a focus on sensory needs, behaviour and play. The children all have individual packages of support according to their own particular needs.
Visits to the school are encouraged and can be arranged via the school office on 0208 684 4003 Ext 0. Candidates are also welcome to visit our running ELP at The Crescent Primary which is just along the road from Broadmead, and these can be arranged by calling 0208 684 8283.
