We have broadly adopted the National Curriculum to underpin our education programme, supporting pupils to achieve to the best of their ability. Our day allows pupils to learn at a pace appropriate to them, with flexibility in the timetable to suit their individual needs alongside small class sizes with two staff. We also make use of appropriate technology across the school day and throughout our curriculum.
We consider progress within the pupils’ social and emotional wellbeing to be equally as important as academic progress. Integrated therapeutic classrooms ensure that our pupils needs are met.
We offer a range of qualifications with the National Curriculum underpinning our education programme. We prioritise English, Maths, Science, PSHE/RSE. There may be a mixture of awards, Entry Levels or Functional Skills, as well as GCSE’s, supported by opportunities to access taster days at local colleges and explore the world of careers.
At Lake House School, our enrichment curriculum is designed to spark curiosity, motivation, and confidence by combining pupils’ individual interests with meaningful academic learning. We carefully plan enrichment opportunities that build core skills through engaging, real-world experiences, helping pupils to develop creativity, independence, and a love of learning.
This program extends into our community, and includes a wide range of sporting activities, practical activities, creative and performing arts as well as outdoor learning experiences.
Their emotional wellbeing and resilience are strengthened as they take part in these enrichment activities and programs. We see the results in greater levels of engagement, confidence, and self-esteem.
