Dovers Green School

Dovers Green is a mainstream infant school with a sixteen place Special Needs Support Unit (SNSU) attached to it. All children who come into the unit have a Statement of Special Educational Need. We provide an infant setting for children who have wide ranging needs including those who have a physical disability, are on the autistic spectrum, have speech, language, learning or global difficulties.

We are supported by a speech therapist who works with us for 4 days a week. She works alongside children in the classroom, providing advice and individual and group therapy sessions for children with speech, language and communication difficulties. In addition, health professionals such as doctors, physiotherapists and occupational therapists help us to plan and implement programmes to promote the children's physical development. Other outside professionals such as advisory teachers for visual, hearing and physical disabilities, outreach teachers for children on the autistic spectrum are regular visitors to the school.
