How we learn
All pupils are taught in small class groups with the average class size being ten pupils.
An inclusive & specialist approach
The education offered to pupils is of exceptional quality. The school provides pupils with a highly ambitious, broad and interesting curriculum. This means pupils can learn what interests and excites them about different subjects and the world they live in.
Every class in additional to a teacher has an average of two Teaching Assistants. This helps to ensure that all pupils receive an appropriate balance of whole class, small group and individual teaching.
In our experience, pupils make best progress when placed full-time at the school. This enables them to become fully included in the curriculum and other learning experiences offered by the school.
The class teacher will ensure that all staff engage positively with your child and understand his or her needs. Staff will meet regularly to ensure that they are using consistent and effective approaches with your child. Specialist approaches are used to support pupils’ learning and these include:
- Alternative communication systems
- Access to personal or adapted ICT equipment
- Use of visual timetables, social stories, work stations, particularly for pupils on the autistic spectrum
- Experienced staff to support children with social and emotional learning needs
