Welcome
What are the Blossom SEND Units?
We are proud to have two dedicated SEND Units that provide tailored support for pupils of primary school age with Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN.) Our units offer a nurturing, inclusive environment providing personalised curricular allowing every child the opportunity to thrive academically, socially and emotionally. The SEND Unit is designed with the intent that children will access parts of the mainstream day (no more than 50%) whilst also receiving smaller class sizes and a higher adult to child ratio. Our two SEND Unit classes are called Apple Blossom and Cherry Blossom and have a maximum of 8 children within each class.
How can my child attend Blossom SEND Units?
Our SEND Units are funded by the Local Authority (Lancashire County Council) and so they oversee admissions and placement decisions. All pupils that attend Blossom SEND Units have EHCPs (Education, Health and Care Plans.) Once a child has an EHCP, the Local Authority will consult with school (if appropriate) to see if we are able to meet a child’s needs within the SEND Units.
What is the curriculum offer?
We currently offer two different curriculum pathways: Apple Blossom – Semi Formal curriculum and Cherry Blossom – Formal curriculum. Each of these have their own distinct teaching and learning approach meeting the classes needs (stage not age) and then further personalised to meet the specific needs of the individual child. To find out more about each curriculum then please visit their individual pages.

If you would like to know more or see our learning environments then we offer SEND Unit tours on the first Monday of every month at 3.45pm – please contact the office to book in.
