Facilities
Lower School
Baston House Lower School includes pupils from Year 1 to 9. They acknowledge that the transition from Primary to Secondary School may be a challenge to most pupils. We make the progression from Primary to Secondary as structured and predictable as possible. The school has embedded opportunities for primary and secondary phase interaction within the Lower School setting. This interaction reduces the anxieties of learners as they progress to secondary as primary children move into an environment where they will be interacting with familiar faces and often, good friends.
Upper School
At Baston House School we are committed to providing all of our students with a broad, balanced and personalised education. Once in Year 9, the emphasis is upon providing students with a varied diet of studies across a wide range of subjects and qualifications. Pupils are given every opportunity to access these lessons through the team work and efforts of their teaching teams. In preparation for the future, pupils also have a transition plan drafted from Year 9 onwards and attend lessons on preparing for work and independent living.Pupils have the opportunity to choose some of their courses for Year 10 and 11, in order to pursue particular interests or strengths. At this ‘Options’ stage, students choose from the subjects on offer.

Remote Learning
This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency to pupils and parents / carers about what to expect from remote education if local restrictions require entire cohorts (or bubbles) to remain at home. The pupils at Baston House have a wide range of needs. When planning for a remote education for our pupils, we need to take account of these needs and plan individualised approaches and support for each pupil within the tasks being set. The information in this document sets out the whole school expectations for remote learning.
