The Evergreen Centre

 

The Evergreen Centre is based at The Smallberry Green Primary School in Isleworth.

We are a specialist centre offering provision for children with a primary diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), within the Key Stage 2 age range (Years 3,4,5 and 6) and who have an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP). In September 2022, the Local Authority agreed to extend the age range for the centre to include children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. The decision to make this permeant will be going through formal consultation, and any comments or questions about the extension to the centre are welcome. Please email the school office office@smallberrygreen.hounslow.sch.uk or call 020 8580 2070

With one teacher and two teaching assistants, we are able to meet children’s individual needs by tailoring teaching and learning styles and providing highly structured, intensive support.

We welcome our children into a warm and friendly environment, with a well-established team of staff who are dedicated to providing excellent educational opportunities as well as high-level care and support.

We believe that children with autistic spectrum condition should have equal access to quality teaching and learning and the chance to forge and maintain positive relationships with adults and peers, whilst developing the necessary skills for them to lead fulfilling, independent lives.

We strive to promote communication, ensuring our children are comfortable and able to express their needs in a manner that suits each individual.

In essence, our aim is to remove the barriers to learning faced by many children with autism, in order to unlock their potential for achievement and happiness.

At Evergreen, we embrace the philosophy of integration by ensuring that our children are members of their school community and included in lessons and school activities with support and a great deal of consideration of their needs.

With strong foundations in learning, social skills and communication our children are able to grow and thrive as individuals, standing them in good stead to achieve the goal of independence.
