Be happy, safe and active members of the school and wider community

Personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE) is at the heart of the curriculum, and intertwined into daily activities, with a focus on social development and equipping children with the skills and resilience required to safely and effectively participate within a range of communities. We belong to the ‘Kindness School’programme and daily acts of kindness are encouraged and celebrated.

Develop their social, communication and academic skills to their full potential

Children follow individualised curriculum pathways, either semi-formal or subject-specific, according to ability, with EHCP Outcomes and preparation for life after Maple View at the core of their pathway. The multi-disciplinary teams work together to support development and learning through the establishment and tracking of Learning Intentions.

Children engage in classroom-based learning, including daily literacy, numeracy and PSHE activities. In the afternoons they can access horticulture and small animal care, cooking, Forest School and community-based activities and have the opportunity to work with children from other classes.

Individual and group therapy sessions take place within the classroom, within therapy rooms, outdoors or in the community throughout the school day, with communication and sensory-regulation at the heart of the programmes.

Class sizes are between 3 and 5 students in each of the 4 classes. Children are grouped according to their age, ability, communication style, social dynamics and sensory needs.

In the afternoons, children have the opportunity to work with peers from different  classes.
