At Moorfield Primary School, we have a Resource Base Provision. The unit provides support for children with an Education and Health Care Plan who require a combination of specialist provision and mainstream experiences.
Where appropriate, children in our Resource Base access provision in the mainstream school and continue to interact with their peers at lunch time, to support their academic progress and their social and emotional learning journey.
If you wish to discuss this further please do not hesitate to contact our Inclusion Lead Gareth Swire: gareth.swire@moorfield.stockport.sch.uk
