Welcome to Fountains Primary School and thank you for showing interest in our Academy.
Fountains Primary School is a special school providing education and support for children aged 2-11 years old. We currently have 185 pupils on roll. This year, 59% of our children have a diagnosis of autism; 19% have a severe learning difficulty; 16% have a moderate learning difficulty and 6% have a profound and multiple learning difficulty.
At our school we have a strong curriculum design consisting of four curriculum pathways. Each of these ensures that all our pupils (who are wide ranging in terms of cognition and ability) are challenged appropriately to extend their learning. Each pathway ignites curiosity and a love of learning. At their heart is a clear vision which is underpinned by our school values, linking to Personal Learning and Thinking Skills.
Our four curriculum pathways are:
1. Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum (for our younger pupils)
2. Engagement Curriculum (for our pupils at the lowest starting points)
3. Life Skills Curriculum (for our older pupils, usually with Autism)
4. Functional Curriculum (for our pupils who follow subject specific learning)
Each curriculum is recorded and assessed in different ways.
We strive to enable all our pupils to ‘always achieve their potential’.
At Fountains Primary School we pride ourselves on creating a rich and exciting learning experience for all children. All education in school is highly differentiated and is rooted within our four curriculum pathways. These pathways are underpinned by our school values which are centred on Personal Learning and Thinking Skills which develop each child’s character.
Our staff team is passionate about empowering children to become as independent as possible, laying the foundations needed for life beyond Primary school and preparing them to meet their future aspirations, so that they will succeed in life.
Every team member is dedicated and has high expectations of the children. Through our inclusive curriculum we encourage all children to continually challenge themselves, embracing their mistakes and working together to ‘achieve their potential’.
