Additionally Resourced Provision (ARP)

Our ARP supports up to 27 pupils from Reception to Year 6 (ages 4–11) with Education, Health & Care Plans (EHCPs) for Autism and related speech, language, and communication needs.

Pupils learn in small classes of up to 11, with opportunities to join the main school for part of the day. They receive extra support and are encouraged to gradually become more independent.

Pupils follow a tailored version of the main curriculum, delivered flexibly to meet individual needs.

The ARP is based in a purpose-built, single-storey building with three classrooms, support rooms, a dedicated playground, and a sensory garden. It opened in January 2023.

Currently, the ARP is full from Reception to Year 5. We will not admit a new Reception intake until September 2026. If a space becomes available, it will be offered in the relevant year group.

Admission to the ARP

Admission to our ARP is not automatic for pupils already attending Fielding Primary School.

To be considered, a child must:

• Have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) that names our ARP
• Have needs related to Autism or speech, language, and communication
• Require support beyond what a mainstream school can typically provide
• Meet our entry criteria

Referrals are made by Ealing’s SEND Assessment Team (Carmelita House, 21–22 The Mall, Ealing, W5 2PJ). We review each referral carefully and may visit the child in their current setting to assess whether we can meet their needs.

If we believe we can support the child, we invite parents to visit the ARP. This is followed by an entry process involving the family and the SEND team.

In some cases, we may decide that we are not the right setting, and the referral will be declined.
