The Additional Resourced Provisions in Kirklees offer a number of fixed places and transitional places. Fixed places are for children and young people with an EHC Plan who have complex needs and require a specific environment that cannot be replicated in all schools and so they must attend an Additional Resourced Provision full time.
Access to ARP's is via the Specialist Placements procedure as per Special Schools and children/young people must have an EHCP to access an ARP place.
Additional Resourced Provision places within mainstream schools
Whilst the majority of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities will attend their local mainstream school; for some individuals, after a period of support it may be suggested that a place in an Additional Resourced Provision may be necessary.

Transitional places are available in order to identify and assess needs, establish appropriate curriculum and teaching strategies and prepare all parties for the child’s transition to the local school named in the EHCP.
