Key Stage 2
Learners are taught in mixed ability and mixed aged teaching groups within each key stage. Our Key Stage 2 class has up to 8 learners organised into one of the primary ‘tree’ classes.
- Class 1 – Maple
- Class 2 – Cedar
- Class 3 - Elm
Learners receive a full and varied curriculum with the number of lessons allocated outlined below. However, the development of literacy, numeracy skills and social emotional and behaviour management are priority to assist their re-integration back into a mainstream school.
Learners may attend full time if they have been permanently excluded; learners who are on intervention places attend here part time for up to four days per week and spend the rest of the time in their mainstream school.
Curriculum Allocations
Our main focus is to provide an individualised curriculum in English, maths, and social-emotional literacy to meet the needs of each learner. These are delivered in a thematic approach with a new topic each term;
- Autumn term – Fairy Tales
- Spring term – Around the World
- Summer term – Habitats
Most lessons are usually 40 minutes long. Learners also read daily.
Learners have access to appropriate E-safety sessions designed to meet the needs of our learners with topics being flexible to meet any issues or concerns which may arise during the time a learner is with us. Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) is provided at levels appropriate to the age and maturity of the learner through PSHE lessons.
Wednesday, or Wellbeing Wednesday, is dedicated to specifically addressing the social and emotional needs of each learner as well as introducing them to new activities.
