Our
Curriculum
Focussing on the individual
Our approach to learning is flexible, multisensory, creative, and person-centred. Students follow a core programme of sessions designed across the breadth of of our curriculum areas and then choose from a range of exciting enrichment options to form their own bespoke timetables.
Creating meaningful outcomes
Our curriculum is split into five areas
My Body
With reference to best practice guidelines in ensuring 24-hour postural care, and an aim to support our students to engage in physical activity, each young person has a program of support designed by physiotherapists and experienced practitioners to meet their physical needs. Alongside this, there are opportunities to engage in sports throughout the week and to work towards meaningful functional goals e.g. building core strength for sitting in order to sit at a table in a restaurant or to build skills in independent rolling in order to have greater opportunities for movement.
My Voice
With a focus on personal choice, our students have opportunities to develop their approaches to communication to make meaningful decisions about how they spend their time and who they spend their time with.
My Independence
We focus on student choice and independent living. Each student will have a bespoke timetable which incorporates the core elements of their holistic support package and ASDAN Life Skills Challenges. We also provide personalised pathways with the use of Assistive Technology.
My Wellbeing
We support the emotional and physical wellbeing for our students through the use of evidence based strategies informed by neuroscience. We incorporate the senses, nature, creativity, mindfulness, music, touch and building relationships to design a personalised wellbeing programme for each student.
My World
We provide opportunities to engage meaningfully with the world. Students engage in fun community and cultural celebrations, take part in our popular book club and Sound by Sound sessions, and spend time exploring and developing their interests and hobbies.
