Our Curriculum – Intent and Implementation
The curriculum is the framework for everything we do in school. It combines everything that is planned and delivered in or out of lessons with other learning opportunities across the school. Through the curriculum, we develop students’ knowledge, skills and understanding to prepare them for their futures. Introduction to Alderwasley Hall School Alderwasley Hall School and Sixth Form provides exceptional education for day and residential students aged 5 to 20. We transform the lives of young people with Autism and Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). We are also highly experienced in working with associated diagnoses and needs, such as Selective Mutism and mental health needs such as depression and anxiety. Our goal is for every student to be happy and healthy, to feel valued and purposeful. Teachers, therapists, learning support workers and care staff work together to promote a sense of belonging, a sense of productivity and good emotional and physical wellbeing. 1. Our Key Aim We recognise that students attending Alderwasley Hall School have specific, diverse and individual needs. Our curriculum aims to meet these needs and, as a result, is bespoke to our setting. It combines the best features of mainstream, Life Skills and therapeutic curricula to enable all learners to progress. Our ultimate goal is that students are enabled to be active learners, who fulfil their potential academically, socially and independently. Therefore, we give all students opportunities to make informed choices so they can develop their own pathway. Each individual pathway will be destination- led to maximise individual progress and lead to appropriate next steps.
The AHS curriculum establishes, or re-establishes, a love of learning and preparation for adulthood. We provide appropriate challenge and experiences supported by highly specialised staff.
