Curriculum
Our curriculum is split into five key areas: my communication; my thinking and problem-solving; my PSED; my creativity, and the world about me. Each curriculum areas has been developed by the academy from a range of pre-exiting curriculums and scheme including the National Curriculum; EQUALs; Launchpad for Literacy and EYFS.
The curriculum is delivered through skills-based teaching and practical activities, which is reflective of the needs of our learners. They require many opportunities to learn and practise their skills in different contexts; repetition is the key to their development and our approach. To ensure our content remains interesting, relevant and varied, we follow a thematic approach over a four-year cycle.
We recognise that every child requires a personalised approach; and therefore the delivery of our curriculum reflects this. We use waypoints within each curriculum area to provide learners with sequential learning, whilst acknowledging that our learners fluctuate and have a wide-span profile with regards to attainment.
