“The Link”, at Swallow Dell, is a 12-place Specialist Resource Provision (SRP) for children with ASD and speech and language communication difficulties and co-existing learning difficulties.

Children meeting the Local Authority requirement criteria, access specialist level support and resourcing, while maintaining a link to their classroom in the mainstream part of the school. They access the classroom provision for as much time as is possible for them - depending on their individual needs and preferences.

Applications for places are made via the local authority channel for accessing specialist provision – they must have an EHCP at specialist+ level funding. Swallow Dell does not admit children internally.
