Summary
This is specialised provision for students who have more complex learning difficulties. Students on this provision have the opportunity of a curriculum that is bespoke and tailored to meet their individual needs. Students learn key skills such as access to vocational areas, personal and social development, and project learning. A flexible and varied curriculum means students will get to try lots of different learning opportunities. Students on this provision have 1:1 support needs. This allows us to provide high levels of support throughout their timetable. We have various areas students can access whilst on this provision that ensure they actively take part in meaningful learning and we can show real progress through these activities. We use the TEACCH approach throughout this provision that provides a framework and structure to students day and learning. A thorough transition package is offered for students applying for this provision that links to an effective induction programme. This is then followed by comprehensive tracking that records progress at all times of the year. Regular assessments are carried out to ensure students are making good progress throughout their time on the course.
