Curriculum

At The Children's Trust School, we take great pride in providing personalised and sequential educational offerings to our children and young people.

With clear intent, thoughtful implementation, and measurable impact, we ensure a meaningful curriculum that allows each child to make progress and reach their intended outcomes.

Our bespoke, tailored curricula are designed to meet the unique needs of each student, ensuring that their learning journey is one of growth and achievement. Our dedicated leaders of learning organise and plan pupil learning exceptionally well, offering a curriculum that enables them to build knowledge and skills gradually, in small, achievable yet aspirational steps. This approach empowers our pupils to work successfully toward their personal Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHC plan).

We acknowledge that the curriculum is at the heart of everything we do. Our children follow thoughtfully crafted offers such as ImPACTS (Individualised, (meaningful), Profile, Assessment, Curriculum, Target, Setting), DEYO (Differentiated Early Years Outcomes), Sounds of Intent, and Special Yoga, all carefully selected to support their individual development.

Whether your child is in the early years or progressing through different stages, we are committed to delivering a curriculum that is meaningful, inclusive, and fosters their growth.
