Welcome to Orry’s Room - Our Specialist Provision Centre (SPC)
Our school vision is
‘Together we Learn and Grow’ is embedded in everything we do. We constantly strive for high standards to ensure that the curriculum is both exciting, engaging and stimulating and we ensure that our pupils experience as broad a range of learning opportunities as possible.
At HBN, we are very proud to have Orry's Room; a centre which is devoted to pupils identified as having complex needs. We strive to support our pupils in overcoming or coping with their daily challenges and we work hard to ensure that pupils get the very best care and education.
We treat our pupils with respect and maintain their dignity at all times and we ensure that we maintain a calm and positive disposition when working with our pupils. The language we use with and around the children is always appropriate and respectful.
Within our SPC we currently have 3 classes; Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3. Each class follows a different curriculum pathway which enables us to ensure that the classroom environment, teaching and learning approach and specialist interventions are appropriately planned to meet the specific needs of pupils.
In each class there is a core team of adults who work with the pupils daily in order to ensure consistency in delivery, strategies and in building trusting, positive relationships. We have a highly skilled team of Senior Education Support Officers and Education Support Officers who work alongside the 3 Specialist Provision Centre teachers.
Our Curriculum
In Orry’s Room, we have adopted the EQUALS curriculum, designed to meet the diverse needs of our learners. Our curriculum is divided into 4 pathways - The Pre-formal Pathway, Informal Pathway, Semi-Formal Pathway and Formal Pathway.

Social Story for starting school
Inclusion at HBN
Pupils who attend Orry's Room are very much part of the wider school community. Many pupils have bespoke timetables which include sessions in their Orry's Room class as well as their mainstream class (supported by a member of the team from Orry's Room). All of our pupils have lunch in the dining hall and we endeavour to provide meaningful opportunities for inclusion for all our pupils by attending whole school events such as assemblies with visitors, Sports Day, Beach Day and much more.
We strive to plan events and activities which aim to help all pupils understand how everyone is different and that is great! We promote disability awareness, empathy and positive attitudes and kindness towards everyone. We regularly share these activities and/or events on our Facebook Page. Recent Events…
