Our Bespoke Curriculums

Our Bespoke Curriculums

At Lake House School, we recognise that every child’s learning journey is unique. Many of our pupils have experienced disruption, anxiety, or barriers to learning in previous settings. Our enhanced curriculum is therefore carefully designed to meet pupils where they are, rebuild confidence, and support them to achieve both academically and personally.

Our curriculum is built around a clear and structured three-stage pathway: Securing, Exploring, and Soaring. This model ensures that every pupil receives the right level of support, challenge, and opportunity at the right time

Securing

The Securing stage focuses on helping pupils feel safe, settled, and ready to learn.

For some pupils, the priority is to rebuild trust in education, develop emotional regulation, and establish positive routines.

Exploring

The Exploring stage supports pupils to broaden their learning, develop independence, and take increasing ownership of their progress.

 

Soaring

The Soaring stage is about enabling pupils to achieve their full potential and prepare for the next stage of their education or life.

At this stage, we focus on:

  • Emotional wellbeing, regulation, and readiness to learn
  • Building positive relationships with staff and peers
  • Developing communication, attention, and engagement
  • Establishing core learning behaviours and confidence
  • Identifying individual strengths, needs, and barriers to learning

At this stage, pupils:

  • Access a broader and more ambitious curriculum
  • Begin to take safe risks in their learning and try new challenges
  • Develop stronger independence, resilience, and problem-solving skills
  • Build social understanding and collaboration with others
  • Continue to strengthen core academic and life skills

At this stage, pupils:

  • Engage with more complex and demanding learning
  • Apply their skills confidently across different subjects and situations
  • Develop independence, self-belief, and aspiration
  • Prepare for successful transition to their next setting or pathway
  • Take pride in their achievements and personal growth

Learning at this stage is highly personalised and supported by therapeutic input. Success here is measured not only academically, but through improved confidence, engagement, and wellbeing.

Learning remains personalised, but expectations and challenge gradually increase as confidence grows

Pupils in this stage are supported to see themselves as capable, successful learners with positive futures.
