Curriculum and Assessment Policy 2023

Framework allows a flexible and holistic approach to assessment, moving away from the neuro- typical expectations that children make linear progress. A child’s learning journey will follow their own unique path, highlighting any missing steps which may prevent them from moving forward.

PSHE:

The PSHE Curriculum is at the heart of the curriculum, and intertwined into daily activities, with a focus on social development and equipping our children with the skills and resilience required to safely and effectively participate within a range of communities. We are a ‘Kindness School’ and daily acts of kindness are encouraged and celebrated. The PSHE and RSE Curriculum Policy and plan are developed in line with national guidance. See attached

Therapies within the curriculum We have on-site Speech and Language Therapy and a Therapy Assistant. This academic year we are commissioning OT provision, we also commission a range of creative therapies. Throughout the school day, individual and group therapy sessions take place within the classroom, within therapy rooms, outdoors or in the community, with communication and sensory-regulation at the heart of the programs. The development of communication skills is a key focus within school. The children have a wide range of communication modes. A range of Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) are used to supplement or replace speech (see separate policy).
