English
The English curriculum covers a wide range of areas.
Communication is an essential skill for all of our pupils and we use a wide range of augumentative communication systems such as PECS , Eye Gaze . Pro Loquo software and Communicate In Print symbols to enable our non-verbal pupils to have a voice, communicate socially, express their needs and evidence their learning.
Our verbal pupils develop their Speaking and Listening skills via the National Curriculum syllabus.
Writing is delivered in a varied way , ranging from early markmaking and sensory self-expression, through to spelling, punctuation, grammar and phonics. Creative story writing is taught, with some pupils using software and symbols and others independently writing.
Reading is also taught across a wide range of need , from PECS and symbol recognition through to more complex texts for Functional Skills and Entry Level Qualifications.
