Primary Curriculum 2024-25
Our curriculum intent is predicated on our school vision:
Every pupil will learn the skills and develop the confidence needed to become a valued, integrated and independent member of the community.
The curriculum has three main pathways which aim to meet the needs of our ASC pupils and are based on SCERTS principles.
Pathway 3- SCERTS -Social Partner stage- the curriculum focuses on independence, life-skills, communication, emotional regulation and sensory needs. It has a high level of therapeutic input and a highly personalised curriculum.
Pathway 1- SCERTS- Language Partner stage- this is a skills focused curriculum with an emphasis on functional literacy and numeracy skills and the development of language and communication. There are also opportunities to develop life and work skills and independence. Some subjects benefit from a thematic approach and delivery.
Pathway 2- SCERTS- Conversational Partner stage- this is a more subject based curriculum adapted and differentiated from the National Curriculum. It includes knowledge and skills based approaches.
All three pathways offer a curriculum which is broad and balanced and which builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills of all children, whatever their starting points, as they progress through each Key Stage. The curriculum incorporates the statutory requirements of the new National Curriculum but also offers other experiences and opportunities which best meet the individual and learning and developmental needs of the pupils in our school. The aim of our curriculum is for pupils to have the requisite skills to be successful and motivated learners who develop the independence and social and communication skills to thrive in the community and in future employment.
There is a strong focus on Personal Development which includes the Thrive Approach to assess their developmental social and emotional needs.
