Tell us about Hitherfield Primary & Why You Needed This Space
"Hitherfield is a three form entry urban school in Tulse Hill, Lambeth. We have a lot of children on the site and very limited space. We really needed an extra space, ideally away from the rest of the school, where it could be a calm place for children to relax, have time to talk, and process things, especially for children who maybe sometimes aren't ready for learning, maybe need a break out of the classroom, or time to chat in a quieter area."
"So working alongside Lambeth SEN department, we put a bid in for funding and we were very pleased that we were successful and we were able to get some money to start to plan and design this building. We brought on board with us a consultant company, Studio Cherry, to get the bid in place. And then once the bid had been approved, we could develop it and work with Cabins for Schools!"
How is the Inclusion Cabin Used Day-To-Day?
“We've been using the inclusion cabin in a variety of ways. First of all, we have groups of children coming in here and working with speech and language therapists, or working with our learning mentors in a quiet, dedicated space. But much more than that actually, we're now using the inclusion cabin at lunchtime too for any students that feel like the playground is a bit too busy for them. They can come and have a quieter place or play some calm sensory games. So really it's used for the whole school day and beyond.”
How Does the Building Support Students With Additional Needs / SEMH?
"Some children need support with their understanding and receptive language skills, and a space like 'the Warren' is perfect because it's nice, it's quiet, it's self-contained. It is a magical place. It's got a real specialness to it, and I think the children that come in here really feel that it feels different to a classroom. It creates a little bit of a sanctuary away from the school, and we can offer a range of pastoral and inclusive provisions for children who need it.”
"Hitherfield Primary School is vibrant, it's energetic, and every nook and cranny is used in the school. Now that we have the Warren, interventions are structured across the week. There's more open space for the nurture interventions and the inclusive provisions that we've wanted to have across the school week.”
