Curriculum Overview

Our expert team of staff have worked collaboratively to develop a highly adapted and ambitious curriculum that considers pupils’ specific interests and diverse learning needs. As a school, we use each learning experience as a platform on which our pupils will learn, both formally and informally. Our ultimate aim is to guide pupils to develop transferable skills that will prepare them for adulthood and life beyond school so that they can contribute and be a part of their community, as well as achieving personal fulfilment.

The curriculum meets the statutory requirements of the Early Years Framework and the National Curriculum in England, whilst ensuring personalised and bespoke pathways for every pupil.

Staff are encouraged to take a practical and creative approach to teaching. We use a range of specific teaching methods including ALDs (Aided Language Display), Attention Autism, Intensive Interaction; PECs (Picture Exchange Communication System); Signalong and TEACCH.

Our reading scheme is Rhino readers. Phonics is taught using Twinkl Phonics, as appropriate for individual learning needs. Daily reading is facilitated for all pupils.

Any queries regarding the curriculum can be directed to the school’s Deputy Headteacher.
