Vision
These students in years 9 – 11 require:
a) highly individualised programmes personalised to learning goals (EHCP)
b) additional support in forming appropriate friendship
c) regular opportunities for the acquisition of independence and life skills (include out of school learning)
The ‘individualised’ and ‘personalised’ aspects of the curriculum are managed through meticulous differentiation; varied pace and overlearning of skills in Gallery MTPs* where necessary; alternative experiences for individuals linked to EHCP plans; and different accreditation pathways.
Friendship, independence and life skills
Focus on developing a sense of class community through regular class reader, circle time and games. Also, collective group experiences, such as guests, visits and volunteering.
