For some of our young people the school environment may feel too pressured and stressful and they may need an opportunity to build relationships first before being emersed in lessons. Whilst we hope that all of our learners can benefit from subject specialists, sometimes a familiar face is an easier way to get started. This means that lessons can be delivered one to one, to support a transition. 

Other students benefit from opportunities to learn in environments other than at school and we support them to access various high quality providers.

The school also uses Century, an online learning platform to support independent learning online.

Homework is an important part of developing independence and in preparation for post 16 learning. It is however only useful when it is valued by the student and teacher, is a meaningful part of the learning journey and can be completed largely unaided. Again the school's approach is designed to suit each individual student on their own learning pathway.
