Welcome to The Acorn Centre and DSPL9 Primary Behaviour Partnership Page.
The DSPL9 Behaviour Partnership, Tiered Model for Primary Schools
- The Acorn Centre (864KB)
Tier 1:
Each school to ensure clear, consistent behaviour policy, induction for new staff, identification of training needs etc.
Tier 2:
Each area: Watford, Bushey and Radlett, Croxley Green & Rickmansworth and South Oxhey has a ‘Hub’ school. This is a small team of teaching and support staff who have a range of resources to provide lower level generic behaviour support i.e. classroom environment, lunchtimes, positive language, peer to peer support, this will include a visit to hub school
Tier 2 Service Requests should be sent for the attention of Jenny Morley to admin.acorn@warrendell.herts.sch.uk
(Referral form in sidebar)
Tier 3:
Chessbrook offers a range of outreach interventions to primary schools for children with significant needs, whose behaviour is still impacting on themselves and/or others after the implementation of strategies from DSPL9 tiers 1 and 2.
A link to the referral form for Chessbrook can be found on the side bar and should be returned to primaryref@chessbrook.herts.sch.uk. Response to referrals will be as soon as space becomes available after the date received.
Where appropriate family support can be requested from The Triage Service
Tier 4: Outreach support provided by the Acorn Centre
Children at risk of permanent exclusion
The Acorn Centre may offer an alternative environment for Primary aged children for up to 3 terms, Outreach Services may be offered in the school setting prior to this. Your Service Request will need to meet clear criteria; schools will share referral and evidence at an inclusion panel. This would be expected to include evidence of strategies used by school and impact, incidents, advice/support from other agencies – this may not always be Chessbrook – could be involvement by an EP, communication team, CAMHS or other appropriate service/agency

Tier 5: Day 6 provision provided by the Acorn Centre
Children who have been permanently excluded – to ensure that children receive their statutory entitlement to full time provision from Day 6.
