Dawn House School Curriculum:

Our curriculum is shaped to the primary need of our intake, which are speech and language challenges, other individual learning difficulties and individual EHCPs.

Our curriculum focuses on developing independence and employability skills, inclusion and community. Throughout each Key Stage, activities and strategies are embedded to support the development of skills such as those needed for employability, relationships, independence and self-advocacy.

Our curriculum is designed to develop the appropriate subject specific knowledge, skills and understanding based on the National Curriculum and wider skills so that children can flourish, reach and exceed their potential academically, physically, socially and emotionally.

Our curriculum supports pupils to understand spirituality in themselves and others, develop social skills and understand society, build a firm set of personal morals based on Fundamental British Values, and to engage in the culture they live in and understand the cultures of others.

When appropriate, pupils will access a range of qualifications at an appropriate level which will support them in achieving their next steps, beyond life at Dawn House School.
