Welcome to The Lighthouse 

In The Lighthouse, we are a small nurture group which supports learners with SEMH need

s.

At Underwood West Academy, we believe in including every child, especially those with Special Educational Needs.

In the Lighthouse, we provide a calm, happy and safe place where children can learn and feel

 secure. We focus on building important life skills such as talking and listening to others, managing

 emotions, looking after themselves and becoming more independent.

The Lighthouse Staff:

Miss Holliwell - Class Teacher 

Mr Foster - Learning Mentor 

Mrs B - Teaching Assistant 

Routine: 

The Lighthouse runs from 8:45 til 12:30 and after this time the children will return to their normal classes.

We use a visual timetable to structure the whole morning. This consists of welcome time, Monster phonics, Zones of Regulation, snack, outside play, sensory story, maths, dough disco, sensory circuits and writing with lots of ‘sensory breaks’ throughout.

The curriculum is bespoke to meet the variety of need in the class.

We cannot wait to welcome you all into The Lighthouse.

Best Wishes, 

The Lighthouse Team
