More About Eden

Eden is our 15 place resourced provision at Upton Westlea for children with a diagnosis of Autism.  Places within Eden are allocated by the SEN assessment and monitoring team at Cheshire West and Chester. All children who are allocated a place have a diagnosis and an EHCP (Education Health and Care Plan). 

Curriculum and Learning

In Eden, children are taught using a thematic, multi-sensory approach to learning. We constantly strive to engage children in a broad and balanced curriculum, whilst prioritising the aims of the individual targets on their EHCPs.  We aim to base learning around quality texts and provide learning experiences that are pitched to their individual needs and interests.

Every child has a Personalised Learning Plan where we look at their individual targets and areas of interest.   Every child is unique and so too their curriculum should be.

We aim to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum, tailored to the needs of the individual children and will include all areas of the Early Years and/or National Curriculum. 

Our children are grouped according to their developmental stage and level of need. 

Our Oaks children are able to follow subject specific learning and will access a highly differentiated form of the National Curriculum. 

Our Acorns children are working within the Early Years Curriculum and are supported by a SALT based approach curriculum. Those children who are not yet able to access subject specific learning will follow The Engagement Model and will experience a sensory, SALT based approach supported by SALT.

We aim to engage all learners by following their areas of interest and striving to motivate and inspire them.  

 As staff we liaise closely with outside agencies such as SALT to deliver individual targets and strategies such as Intensive Interaction and Sabotage.

Attention Autism is incorporated  into daily activities.
