Our curriculum aims to offer our students opportunities to develop the qualities and skills to transition successfully into the next stage of their learning.
The curriculum has been designed to promote the development of important life skills through strategies such as learning to learn in our nurture base. There is a clear focus on supporting the development of skills and character traits such as self-management, compassion and team work and there is an emphasis on promoting learning outside the classroom.
Curriculum Statement
Our curriculum is designed to be flexible so it can be adapted to meet the individual needs of each student. We organize our learning groups on the principle of ‘stage not age’. Students in Years 6 – 8 can benefit from our nurture base within our Ready to Learn area where English, Maths Humanities and Life Skills are delivered through a thematic, project based approach. Alternatively, students that are ready may join one of our learning groups following our Key Stage 3 curriculum.
Music provision is provided to students as an extra curricular activity for a limited number of students and is provided by an external music provider. Development plans are based on student needs.
Alternative provision is provided to accommodate students with personalised timetables.
