Residential support at MacIntyre School
At MacIntyre School we have four modern houses within the school campus adjacent to the heart of the village of Wingrave. We have a further house, Hillside, in Bedfordshire which has a large garden and en-suite bedrooms.
Each house accommodates up to five young people in their own bedrooms, decorated and equipped to their individual tastes.
Teams
Residential staff teams are led by experienced Managers and Team Leaders. Each young person has a Linkworker who is primarily responsible for maintaining excellent communication with families and who liaises with the education team to ensure continuity. A team of Waking Night Staff ensures full support is available for young people throughout the night.
The residential and educational departments work closely together to ensure continuity in the following:
- Core areas of learning
- Consistency of approach
- Positive interactions and a positive environment
- Person centred support plans and profiles
Teachers, Managers, Team Leaders, Linkworkers, Therapists, Therapeutic Support Workers and our Extended Curriculum Coordinator jointly develop Individual Learning Plans which are reviewed termly.
Continuity of support
On a daily basis, members of the residential staff team support young people during the school day. This ensures opportunities for continued learning and skill development at all times of day. Meals are healthy and menus are planned to incorporate any specific dietary requirements. Young people are encouraged to help plan, shop for and cook meals.
