Middle <strong>School</strong><br />
8-14 years<br />
Our Middle <strong>School</strong> incorporates Key Stage 2<br />
and 3. It is the largest department, spanning<br />
from year 4 to year 9 and covers a range of<br />
learners in terms of age and learning needs.<br />
Communication, interaction and social skills are<br />
still a large component of the curriculum, coupled<br />
with reading, writing and maths. Pupils are<br />
introduced to formal learning if and when they<br />
are individually ready. Our curriculum has a strong<br />
focus on exploration and creativity. Learning is<br />
inspired by highly motivating topics that change<br />
termly or half termly.<br />
Upper <strong>School</strong><br />
14-19 years<br />
Our Upper <strong>School</strong> incorporates Key<br />
Stage 4 and 5 with the emphasis on<br />
equipping our young people with<br />
the skills they need to transition<br />
to adulthood. Where students are<br />
capable of getting a job after school,<br />
there are many opportunities for<br />
personalised work experience,<br />
supported internships and vocational<br />
qualifications in Horticulture and<br />
Hospitality. The Duke of Edinburgh<br />
Award is integrated into the<br />
curriculum and if a student is<br />
capable of further qualifications in a<br />
particular subject, arrangements<br />
are made.<br />
Each student and their family are<br />
guided towards the best outcomes<br />
for the future.<br />
“<br />
Our purpose is<br />
to support our<br />
families alongside<br />
our young people<br />
