Students are provided with individual intervention programmes that are bespoke to their development.

Students are firstly provided with an ‘Emotion Coaching’ curriculum that allows students to develop skills of emotional intelligence and emotional regulation. During tutor time, students are asked to reflect from successes and difficulties from the day before.

Students are encouraged to recognise emotions associated with events and coaching is provided to identity emotions and develop appropriate responses. Students are also provided with interventions that are identified by Education and Health Care Plans.

At Pine Green we recognise that student need support not only with ‘Social, Emotional & Mental Health’ needs, but students will need support with ‘Communication & Interaction’, ‘Cognition & Learning’ difficulties and ‘Physical and Sensory’ difficulties. At Pine Green Academy, students have entitlement to access 1:1 or small group interventions based on the difficulties they have. Interventions are scheduled throughout the year so that students continue to grow and develop throughout their time at school.

Our interventions and lessons are specially designed so that opportunity exists for students to receive bespoke support after the completion of interventions so that no learning gaps occur.

“It’s important that students at Pine Green Academy take steps to improve all areas of their lives”

We offer an extended range of interventions in the following areas. We are also actively training our Teaching Assistant Team to increase the offer of interventions that we currently provide. As our students often content with multiple difficulties, we offer interventions within all areas of the Special Educational Needs ‘Code of Practice’.
