Personal Social & Emotional Development

Our Personal, Social and Emotional Curriculum is:

Therapeutic: Placing SEMH needs at the heart of learning, with daily opportunities for emotional regulation, relationship building, and personal growth.
Developmental: Structured around the EYFS Early Learning Goals to recognise that our learners often function below chronological age expectations due to interrupted early development.
Academic: Driven by the powerful knowledge our learners to be successful; and fully aligned with the National Curriculum, with ambitious yet flexible pathways towards the qualifications needed to secure appropriate Post-16 provision.
Literacy-Rich: Literacy development underpins every subject area, empowering learners with the vocabulary and communication skills needed for life.
PfA-Focused: Driven by EHCP outcomes and Preparation for Adulthood pathways including employment, independent living, health, and community inclusion.
Psychologically safe: Adopts a pedagogical approach that supports psychological safety, reducing cognitive load in order to promote executive functioning skills in all our learners.
