An integrated curriculum

The nature of our pupils' complex needs requires the curriculum to be personalised, integrating high-quality, evidence-based therapy with carefully-adapted teaching. 

We meet our pupils' needs by:

• having consistently high expectations 
• facilitating high-quality, inspirational and innovative teaching and learning

1. creating a safe, secure, caring and enjoyable environment in which pupils work, learn, thrive and develop independence
2. providing a personalised curriculum, developed with each pupil's development in mind
3. providing teaching that is underpinned by evidence-based practice.

Our therapeutic curriculum:

• builds positively on what pupils can already do and know
• enables pupils to focus on building strong foundational skills for independent learning
• includes well-structured opportunities to learn skills in an intensive way, and then generalise them into natural learning environments, developing and extending learning
• is relevant, functional and interesting for the pupil
• offers opportunities for pupils to be creative and adventurous in their learning
• provides opportunities for first-hand experiences using a wide range of resources.
