SCHOOL ORGANISATION & SCHOOL DAY
Our School is made up of 16 classes which are spilt into clusters: Green, Yellow, Orange, Red and Purple. Each cluster is made up of 3 – 4 classes of differing learning styles. Pupils generally progress through the Clusters as they get older, in classes which learning style suits them best.
Classes have been identified as Sensory, Focused or Structured as their main learning style. They are likely to deliver more than one learning style within their group as learning is differentiated for all learners according to their Pathway in line with their Unique and Personal Learning Style. Functional learners in Red and Purple Clusters will follow their Personal Pathways alongside their Functional Learning.
Blue Cluster is accessed by all pupils, offering further opportunities for pupils to practise, apply and generalise learnt skills beyond the classroom.
A school week is 32.5 hours and a typical school day looks like this:
