At Ryecroft, our curriculum is designed to meet the individual needs of all pupils. Learning is personalised to support independence, develop life skills and enable meaningful progress throughout their journey with us. Individual termly targets are set for each pupil, with a focus on EHCP long term outcomes to ensure learning is fully supportive and accessible.
Our curriculum is structured across three pathways within the school: Seedlings, Roots and Branches. Progression through these pathways ensures that learning is tailored to individual stages of development.
Pupils are carefully matched to the most suitable pathway with the support of our SENCO and on-site clinical team, ensuring each child is placed where they are most aligned. Learning is theme based and interest led, enabling pupils to engage fully and achieve their potential in a way that is right for them. Our curriculum is also supported by an inclusive, stimulating and interactive learning environment, enriched through the use of BSL and a range of visual communication supports to ensure accessibility for all learners.
Curriculum PathwaysOur curriculum offers a broad range of rich and meaningful experiences for all pupils. Timetables include the core subjects of Maths, Reading and Writing alongside The World Around Me, Creativity, PE and Movement, and My Independence and My Communication. All pupils participate in weekly swimming sessions, use our on-site kitchen to develop practical life skills, and benefit from regular opportunities for off-site learning, including visits to the allotment, library and local community areas. These experiences are designed to support the development of independence, communication and essential life skills.
