Accreditation
Our School offers a carefully structured curriculum underpinned by a range of accredited programs designed to meet the diverse needs of our pupils.
While our pupils are not yet working toward formal qualifications such as SATS, we ensure that each child has access to meaningful accreditation opportunities that support their individual progress and reflect their achievements across key areas of development.
Our long-term goals are to provide access to the following accredited and structured learning pathways:
AQA Unit Award Scheme – Providing formal recognition of small-step achievements across a wide range of curriculum and life skill areas, tailored to individual learning goals. The units can also be embedded within existing EHCP targets or curriculum pathways.
Swimming and Physical Development Awards – Delivered through schemes such as STA and ASA, these recognise pupils' progress in water safety, physical coordination, and confidence.
Forest School and Outdoor Learning – Promoting resilience, independence, and teamwork in an experiential learning environment.
In addition to these accreditations, we will embed evidence-based approaches such as Makaton, PECS, and the ‘Zones of Regulation’, delivered by trained staff to support communication, emotional regulation, and positive behaviour.
