We strive to achieve the most we can while the students branch into adulthood. Throughout the year, we provide an exciting and varied curriculum which enables pupils to develop key lifelong learning skills as well as promoting a love of learning and developing essential life skills including, self-awareness and social skills, managing feelings, empathy, reasoning and creative thinking.
Teaching is also undertaken outside the classroom during carefully planned visits/activities which allow the pupils to demonstrate their confidence in a range of situations. This helps learners to consolidate and apply their skills to different contexts; therefore, extending their learning.
