TMBSS Primary Inclusion Support
TMBSS offer Inclusion Support Visits for children in Years 1 to 4 across Shropshire who do not attend TMBSS.
We only offer Inclusion Support Visits for Year 5 and 6 children who have a place on our Shared Placement model.
The aim of TMBSS Primary Inclusion Support is to support schools in managing the social, emotional, mental health and learning needs of young people to enable them to maintain successful placements in their mainstream schools.
The TMBSS Inclusion Support Team consists of staff currently working at TMBSS Primary, who previously worked in mainstream settings. They are able to draw upon their wealth of experience, training and expertise of supporting young people, staff and parents/carers to provide practical advice and strategies.
