Westfield Infant School has a 24-place Resource Base which forms an integral part of its provision. The Resource Base, known as Team Courage, is able to provide individual tailored provision with aspirational expectations for all pupils. The Resource Base timetable incorporates inclusion activities that are based on individual need, whole school activities as well as smaller group work and individual support. The aim for all pupils is to provide a positive experience and access to a broad, balanced and modified curriculum within an inclusive and nurturing environment. All pupils who have a place in the Resource Base have an EHCP (Education Health Care Plan) and a main area of need of Communication and Interaction. Admission into the Resource Base is organised by the SENA department of the Local Authority. Please contact Mrs Coles or Mrs Brown if you have any questions.

Our vision for the Resource Base

In the Resource Base we facilitate empowerment through inclusivity, nurture, and teaching the whole child; the Resource Base at Westfield Infant School is a place where every child can thrive and reach their individual potential. This includes our classrooms and our children’s inclusion classrooms at Westfield Infant School where all teachers are teachers of SEND.
- Inclusivity and Nurture:
We embrace diversity and create a nurturing, welcoming, safe environment where all abilities feel valued and respected.
- Empowerment:
We empower and inspire children by fostering independence, resilience and self-advocacy skills through play and engaging instruction.
- Individualised Support:
We build upon the unique strengths, abilities, and needs of each child and provide personalised support and tailored interventions to promote growth, development, and responsibility in their learning.
