The Mainstream Autism Base
Oldbury Park’s Mainstream Autism Base (MAB) provides a structured and productive learning environment for children with Autism. The MAB is part of the special educational provision commissioned by Worcestershire County Council and we are funded to provide 8 places. The MAB is overseen by Miss Esther Miller (SENDCo), and is led by Mrs Abigail Keehan, with Mrs Mandy Miller, Mrs Beki Harbourne and Ms Annie Hemming supporting.
Curriculum
The curriculum within the MAB follows the National Curriculum, although this is adapted for individual pupils as part of reasonable adjustments. All MAB pupils are fully included within our school community, participating in lessons with their mainstream class, as part of their core provision, as well some smaller group and 1:1 sessions in the MAB. The expectation is that, long-term, pupils will attend mainstream lessons for the majority of their timetable with increasing independence.
Admission
Children attending a Mainstream Autism Base in Worcestershire are required to have a diagnosis of Autism and an EHCP. Mainstream Autism Base places are co-ordinated by Worcestershire County Council (WCC) SEND Services (not our school). Places are limited and allocated by the WCC placement panel when they become available and according to need, in accordance with the SEND Code of Practice.
Please direct any queries regarding provision and admissions to Worcestershire SEN Services in the first instance:
