- Emmbrook Infant School for children aged 4 to 7 years

Resource bases in Wokingham Borough
Some mainstream schools have resource bases or SEND units.
These provide support for children and young people with:
- an EHCP
- specific special educational needs
Children and young people who attend a resource base or SEND unit may split their time between specialist spaces and mainstream classes. This depends on the child or young person's needs and the way support is provided at the school.
