Semi-formal Pathway - KS 1-3 and 'Developing Independence and Communication KS4'
Students who are working between P4 and End of Year 1 expectations with Speech, Language and Communication Needs. The curriculum is divdied into six areas with the focus on Communication and Cognition. These are 'My Communication', 'Myself and My Body', 'My thinking & My Problem Solving', 'My Creativity', 'My Play & Leisure', and 'My World'.

The curriculum allows for some flexibility with 'pathways' depending on their level of anxiety at any one given time. For many of these students a THRIVE approach is used to help them reengage with life and learning
