ASC Hub
The ASC (Autism Spectrum Condition) Hub is a local authority maintained provision within Kelvin Hall School, which supports pupils with an EHCP (Education and Health Care Plan) related to an Autistic Spectrum Diagnosis, in accessing mainstream school.
​
The ASC Resource Base (Hub) at Kelvin Hall School is a specialist provision for pupils with communication and interaction difficulties and / or an autism spectrum condition (ASC). We strive to ensure that pupils with an ASC have the support and resilience they need to access all of the fantastic learning and extracurricular opportunities that are available to pupils in the main school. We have a high level of staffing to be able to meet the individual needs of our pupils and to support them in developing their skills and resilience to take on challenges and achieve their goals.
The Hub is an annex of the main building with its own entrance, direct access to the main school and the dining hall; it is also separate from the main school. The Hub has two small classrooms, each with a study room attached and there is an outside area. There is a sensory room with giant bean bags, mood lighting, a chalk wall and optional music. There are 15 pupils in the Hub, in year groups of 4 to 7 pupils.
​
Students follow a mainstream curriculum. Practical subjects are accessed with TA support in mainstream classes from Year 7 onwards. Initially, pupils access other subjects, including English and Maths, in the Hub. By Key Stage 4, pupils will access most of their curriculum in the main school with growing independence; significant TA support remains available where needed. In order to develop life-skills and social skills, pupils retain a proportion of their timetable in the Hub throughout their academic life. Some pupils follow a curriculum with a reduced number of GCSE subjects in order to create a more manageable curriculum, and to allow time for additional support.

ASC Hub Admissions
​
The ASC Resource Base (Hub) at Kelvin Hall School is a Local Authority Maintained Provision. This means that admissions are managed by the Local Authority after formal consultation with the Headteacher at Kelvin Hall School. Pupils applying for a place at Kelvin Hall (main school) do not have access to the Hub.
The Hub is a specialist ASC Resource Base and is therefore suitable for pupils with an EHCP, with communication named as the primary need, and/or a diagnosis of autism. Should you wish to apply for a place, please name Kelvin Hall School with access to the ASC Resource Base as your parental preference on your child’s transition paperwork and at the EHCP transition review.
