Pupils' Needs

What specialist approaches will school use to meet my child’s learning needs?

All pupils: Our school has specialist skills and knowledge to meet the needs of our pupils. We use a Total Communication Environment for all pupils including the use of appropriate verbal communication, signing (BSL signed assisted English), symbols, literacy as appropriate, and objects of reference along with, music and other environmental cues and references. As classes are grouped mainly according to learning needs, teachers can closely match their delivery of the curriculum to each pupil’s level of understanding.

This page will describe how we understand pupils' needs within the conceptual department (the information for the links on the left will be added shortly). 

This will include: 

  • social skills
  • communication skills including speaking and listening 
  • Literacy development
  • Basic numeracy development
  • understanding the world around them
