Curriculum
Across the curriculum the children’s learning is enhanced by the use of signing, symbols, pictures, technology and aspects of the TEACCH approach. Children’s progress will be monitored at all times and assessed using P (Pre-National Curriculum) Levels. They are currently piloting SCERTS (Social Communication/Emotional Regulation/Transaction Support) along with a maintained ASD school as we believe this will provide a better profile of the progress our pupils make and supports the way in which we work at Papillon House School.Papillon House School provides each pupil with physical activities that are enjoyable and enables him/her to develop good motor co-ordination and improve communication and language skills. There are opportunities for indoor activities in the main hall and in the soft play area. Outdoor activities take place in the school playground and the surrounding woodland areas. This helps to promote self-esteem, an awareness of others and a level of co-operation.

Therapy at Papillon House School
At Papillon House School the therapy department is a well-established part of the school. We have open and collaborative relationships with our teaching colleagues and work together to support the specific needs of the pupils. The purpose of the therapy department is to reduce the barriers to the pupils learning within the classroom and other learning environments. They aim to build on communication and functional skills and enable and promote independence to the best of each pupil’s potential. The therapy at Papillon House School aims to provide the scaffolding to support each pupil’s learning style. The therapy team are dedicated in working alongside the teaching staff to support the pupils to achieve their full potential in education.
