• As the majority of students are supported on a 1:1 staffing ratio. Classes have been created to ensure students are in small class groups, with a maximum of 5 students dependent on compatibility and behaviours.
• The developmental stages of the individual students are reflected within the curriculum planning and at all times their entitlement to age appropriate activities and resources are acknowledged. • Learning opportunities are created within the students’ day to enable all students to build on what they already know and what they need to make progress in, in order to overcome barriers to their learning. • A consistent approach to the management of behaviours following NAPPi guidelines ensures expectations and standards of behaviour within the school are conducive to a safe and productive learning environment. • Planned activities and class trips encourage students to be active members of their community increasing their understanding and awareness of their community and the wider world. • The curriculum enables students to be self-determining by promoting their ability to express preferences, communicate needs, make decisions and be either self-advocating and/or able to make use of an advocate. • Students receive input from Speech and Language and Occupational Therapy on a regular basis; as well as Educational Psychology and Clinical Psychotherapy where appropriate. This enables individual needs to be assessed and addressed through specifically designed programmes which are followed throughout the school and residential settings and incorporated into Individual Learning Plans. • All students are provided with opportunities to be able to learn and achieve in ways that are relevant, meaningful and realistic to their individual circumstances. • Themes and topics within the curriculum and programmes of study ensure each individual student has access to experiences which promotes British Values and their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. • The school actively encourages parents/carers, families and the wider community to play an active part in the life of the school and in the provision for their child where appropriate. • PSHE/RSHE teaching incorporates the principles of So Safe into specific learning targets for all students linked to their developmental needs and social awareness. • The school is committed to e-safety and procedures are in place to ensure students have appropriately managed access to the internet as well as specific teaching to ensure the skills are taught to enable students to be aware of their own safety.
