SMH Foxfield is a multi-denominational, co-educational school for children with a dual diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and a moderate general learning disability, where the children are treated with dignity and respect and are enabled to participate, to the best of their ability, in an educational program tailored to their individual needs to help support them to live a full and independent life within their families and their communities. Foxfield School aims to provide a nurturing, positive and safe environment within which students can reach their full potential, supported by environmental and teaching aids that are specific to an ASD approach, such as TEACCH, Social Stories, Floortime, and C-ABA. We also aim: Provide a broad, balanced curriculum appropriate to the needs of each student. Prioritize functional life skills, especially with older students, through programs such as ASDAN. Work in collaboration with our multi-disciplinary team in supporting our students to the best of our ability. Provide a caring and fun-filled environment for our students in being mindful of the happiness and wellbeing of each student through recognizing that a happy and content child will be in a better position to learn and achieve new goals/more capable of learning and achieving new goals. Focus on individual strengths and areas of need through the Individual Education Plan (I.E.P) process. Be respectful of each student's ability to communicate and use augmentative communication systems such as PECS, Lamh, and objects of reference to give our students a voice. Provide a stimulating, visual, and interesting environment while keeping in mind sensory preferences that our students may have, such as a quiet, soft-lighted, and clutter-free environment. Ensure equality of opportunity for all students. Provide for active participation in the local community Develop a partnership between home and school. Well done to all the Foxfield staff and friends who took part in the Runamuck Challenge 2019 to raise money for Foxfield Special School!!! We'd like to extend an extra-special thank you to all who donated to help our school. -
