Our primary team comprises three classes ranging from KS1 to upper KS2. We pride ourselves on our nurturing approach and we offer a curriculum which is tailored to meet every child’s individual needs. Outside of our academic studies, we work hard to meet and support the student’s social, emotional and behavioural needs through intervention programmes such as Thrive. In addition, we offer the opportunity for the students to further their learning outside of the classroom. These opportunities allow the students to develop their team building skills and to build relationships with each other, which they may have struggled previously to do. We follow the Read Write Inc. programme to support students in their literacy, and offer a range of other subjects including Mathematics Science PE PSHE outdoor learning This ensures our students return to their mainstream school equipped with the skills to develop their learning. Our aim is to talk to all parents on a daily basis so we can keep them up to date with what the young people have learnt and how they have behaved.

Our Secondary team is made up of many experienced staff members. We work hard to ensure our students leave with many qualifications as we are fully aware of how this impacts upon their life chances. All students are Thrive assessed and we currently offer qualifications as follows: English (language and literature) (GCSE) Maths (GCSE) Science (GCSE) Humanities (BTEC) Science (BTEC) Art (BTEC) Photography(BTEC) Catering (BTEC) Our PHSE curriculum is dynamic in that we respond to identified ‘trends’ within our cohort. Good use is made of outside providers, especially for PE. In addition, we have access to School counsellors to support students.

Students in a Key Stage 3 group will receive a full and varied curriculum including: English, Maths, Science, ICT, Art and Catering. Progress in Literacy and numeracy remains a key focus during Key Stage 3. Some students will also have the opportunity to further enhance their curriculum by attending outside providers e.g Dartmoor Zoo, where they are able to gain accreditation.

Students also have a comprehensive PHSE/Citizenship package which includes pertinent issues such as radicalization, British values, FGM as well as supportive careers guidance in order to better prepare them for the future. PE is also undertaken and this includes activities such as mountain biking, rock climbing, skating and surfing. The School Gym has been a massive success. Home-School contact is daily. Additional booster sessions are provided for those students, at both key stages, for those identified as being below their expected level A counsellor and mentor is available to support all of our students.

Students in a Key Stage 4 groups will be progressing towards various GCSE and BTEC qualifications including: • English Language (GCSE) • Mathematics (GCSE) • Statistics (option for some students). • Humanities (BTEC) • Science (GCSE/BTEC) • Photography (BTEC) • Art (BTEC) • Catering (BTEC) Where appropriate, many of our students will have access to entry level, or vocational based qualifications.
