Facilities
Physical education (PE) gives all students opportunities to develop their physical skills and to apply those skills in different situations. It also enables personal and group achievements to be acknowledged. Movement and physical activities are an integral part of schools’ day. Physical education at the RMT schools is delivered through non- traditional techniques. The curriculum in our schools is predominately movement based, with a 60% outdoor and craft curriculum, with sports facilities in schools and in the community being accessed throughout the school week.
At Clervaux Garden School children and young people will use ICT when appropriate to support their understanding, particularly in relation to curriculum areas. Any use of technology must always take into consideration child and young person’s therapeutic and developmental needs. PSHE and safeguarding lessons will occur regularly and develop understanding and awareness of staying safe when using technology.
Features
Things to note
All pupils are taught and cared for through Ruskin Mill Trust’s research-based method, Practical Skills Therapeutic Education (PSTE). Practically applied principles, known as the Seven Fields of Practice, underpin PSTE and guide each pupil’s journey. Through PSTE, they aim to help each individual develop their own capacity for self-generated conscious action. Each pupil is provided with an individualised and tailored curriculum such that the practical skills they will engage with are those specifically chosen to meet their own developmental needs. PSTE also extends into the residential 24-hour curriculum through holistic care and support, contributing to and improving general wellbeing and health. All pupils benefit from seed-to-table philosophy. The school is a place of therapeutic learning and growing which brings together hand, heart, head, and place to support personal development and progression.
