Curriculum
Children learn best when they are inspired, motivated and challenged; when they are active learners in an environment that encourages them to be independent and confident to question and explore. The education and specialist provision reflects on the current pupil cohort. The timetables are inclusive, meaningful and provide the specialist individual interventions that our pupils need to support their own personal developments. They provide education for pupils functioning at the very earliest levels of development up to national curriculum expected levels and above. The school offers a holistic communication environment and culture. The curriculum enables every child to learn and develop individual skills making them active partners in achieving their goals. It is interactive, enjoyable and visual.Every pupil at the Llewellyn school has an Education, Health and Care plan. They recognise that many of the pupils experience multiple/complex needs and are functioning at early levels of development regardless of their chronological age; many also experience additional physical and sensory impairments and require specialists’ medical interventions. All of our pupils are supported 1:1 and our class sizes are small.
Forest School
Forest School provides a rich, stimulating, holistic environment. It involves child-led challenging play with achievable targets. This helps to develop cognition, physical fitness, emotional resilience and social skills. All activities are carefully managed, enabling the learners to develop a growing awareness of outdoor conditions and settings whilst also building up their confidence. The skills pupils learn link to all aspects of the curriculum while encouraging them be out in the fresh air and access new experiences.Learning is visual and tactile where pupils can explore and use all of their senses. Pupils are encouraged to participate in all weather conditions, and they can get mucky and wet and most importantly have fun!

Things to note
Engagement Steps
Engagement Steps is a formative assessment used for our pupils across all Key Stages who are not yet engaged in subject specific learning. It comprises four sections which reflect the four broad areas of need and includes the 7 areas of engagement. The pupils will, in many ways, be functioning at the very earliest levels of development regardless of their chronological age and will have additional physical difficulties and/or sensory impairments which must be taken into consideration; some may have medical or para-medical needs in addition to their learning difficulties.
Hydrotherapy/Aquatic Based Therapies
Medical evidence shows that water therapy aids those with various medical conditions. Hydrotherapy has been used for musculoskeletal and nuromuscular rehabilitation for over 100 years. It has been shown to improve motor performance in children with muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, spina bifida and rett syndrome.Hydrotherapy is based on the principles of hydrodynamics (buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, turbulence, and flow) and is thought to provide multiple sensory stimuli through water temperature, weigh relief, and vestibular input.
