 How do we cater to needs?

Every pupil is an individual with their own strengths and needs, and our Autism Centre provides high quality, personalised learning to meet the needs of every pupil. We do this through:

• Small class groups with high staff ratios.
• Highly skilled and effective Teachers and Teaching Assistants supporting each class
• Accessible provision based on the National Curriculum and Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, with a strong focus on academic learning and developmental skills.
• High expectations for every child to reach their potential in all areas
• Facilities suitable to learners with autism, such as a soft play room, sensory room, therapy rooms and space for smaller group or 1:1 work.
• Structured, calm, visually supported learning environments with resources such as individual timetables, PECS and Makaton as appropriate to each learner.
• Use of the TEACCH approach and SCERTS Model across the school.
• Play based learning philosophy, as children learn best when they are motivated, engaged and having fun.
• Strong focus on communication skills and personal development embedded across the day.
• Focus on working together with families and therapists to extended the learning across home and school
• Working together with schools in Lambeth to share and support best practice across the borough.
