Senior Department

The Senior Department has 8 classes all named after trees.

The classes are Willow, Ash, Oak, Beech, Maple, Birch, Hazel and Pine.   

Some pupils still follow the Foundation curriculum, however many pupils are now ready for a subject based curriculum. 

Class timetables start to look more formal with English and Maths lessons daily. 

We make sure we revisit learning so that the pupils remember the knowledge and skills taught. Play is also vital to support their understanding of friendships, regulation and communication. 

We teach pupils literacy and numeracy skills building on the things they have learnt in the junior department. We also focus on personal development, supporting the pupils to be independent and safe, and physical development. Please look at the curriculum section of the website for more details.     

We have weekly assemblies, and special events for parents.
