During their time with us, Learners will have access to a comprehensive curriculum which covers all aspects of the National Curriculum, alongside opportunities for Personalised and Vocational Learning. Upon entry they will be reviewed by Learning Support Professionals to establish individual plans focusing on Literacy, Reading and Numeracy Skills. A big focus of our work is also the development of Social Skills, which enables Learners to leave us with the necessary attributes for a successful adult life.
We have a clear focus on improved behaviour and follow the overarching TBAP Behaviour and Keeping Safe Policies. As such, we have a set of expectations that all children must work within. These are based around safety, respect and learning. When things go well learners are rewarded. When Learners’ behaviour is less than acceptable, school staff adopt restorative approaches which aim to repair harm and restore order so that effective working relationships continue.
The wellbeing of staff, as well as learners, has high priority and the daily debriefings contribute to this. Challenge Partners Report May 2017
