'Hookstone Chase School is Enhanced to support children with Communication and Interaction difficulties'.

What We are All About!

Hookstone Chase School is proud to be one of five primary schools in North Yorkshire, enhanced by the Local Authority, to support children with Communication and Interaction difficulties.

From our support base, Cherry Class, located in the heart of the school, we provide support and outreach services based around the requirements of high need pupils with a range of communication and interaction needs, who require assistance to reach their potential in a mainstream school setting.

The support we offer is complementary to the services currently provided by the Autism Spectrum Condition Outreach Support Service (ASCOSS) and those provided by Health based Speech and Language Therapy  and Occupational Therapy Services.  We strengthen and enhance our working practice by working in partnership and alongside other EMS provisions.

We have Specialist Staff:

Sally McMurray	Teacher in Charge
Tori Edwards	Specialist Teacher
Helen Clough	Advanced Teaching Assistant
Janet Shepherd	Advanced Teaching Assistant
