Developing skills for independent living
Children are encouraged to develop not only the necessary academic skills but also skills for independent living to empower them to live within a sighted world through:
- Coherence A broad and balanced education which prepares children for the challenges of adult life
- Continuity Planned programmes of transition through the four key stages of the National Curriculum that reveal children's true potential
- Partnership A fundamental commitment to enter into active dialogue with the child, their parents/guardians and other key stakeholders to determine and respond to their needs
- Progression Design of programmes that are systematically planned to develop rather than duplicate a child's experience
- Quality Considerable emphasis is given to the design and effectiveness of children's Individual Education Plans
Careers Advice is an integral component of the PSHE curriculum for Key Stage 3 & 4 and is vital to transitional development in Years 9 to 11. Summer Work Experience placements for Year 11 are also arranged by our Employment Service.
