The children who access the Jubilee Centre integrate into their mainstream classes in the afternoon. This allows children to access other curriculum subjects such as Science, RE, History etc. It also allows them to develop their language and social skills by forming age-appropriate friendships. They also have the opportunity to mix in with mainstream peers at playtime and lunchtime and access the school playground and play equipment.

The Jubilee Centre also functions in the afternoon to provide some pupils with targeted interventions. These include, for instance, phonics reinforcement groups, maths consolidation lessons as well as handwriting skills and sentence building sessions.
Outcomes
The Jubilee Centre offers a broad range of teaching and learning strategies aimed at each child’s specific needs. As a result, this enables children to:

- improve their attention and listening skills
- develop their self-confidence and self-esteem
- become successful learners and integrate in mainstream classes
- successfully transition to a number of different secondary settings such as specialist settings, secondary schools with a COIN provision and mainstream secondary schools with specialist provision.
