The Deer Hut
This space is our ELSA room in which our fully qualified ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) supports children with their emotional health and wellbeing. This can be either short term support for children, or a longer planned period of support. Our ELSA work works in close collaboration with both the SENCO and class teachers to ensure consistency when applying skills in the classroom. This room was named by our children and chosen to represent both the feeling of nurture they have when in this space and the journey they go on in developing their confidence in all that they do with ELSA support.
The Harting Coronation Garden and Wildlife Hide
This 2023 community funded and developed wildlife garden and pond gives a relaxing and calming area in which all children learn or can be taken for some therapeutic time in which to regulate. Children also benefit from The Hide @ Harting, a fully accessible wildlife hide which allows children to observe and study the natural surroundings and wildlife of Harting.
Intervention / Small Group Working Spaces
Whilst the vast majority of interventions are carried out in the classroom, children also benefit from a number of smaller teaching spaces which can be used for more specific interventions. This includes a small, private intervention room for uninterrupted Play Therapy sessions and a range of smaller areas outside of the classrooms.
