At Old Park we provide a curriculum following the National Curriculum guidelines, that also meets the needs of each individual pupil. We respond to pupils individual learning styles through a variety of teaching approaches. Pupils are given the opportunity to integrate into the local community using local facilities, and visiting places of interest. We develop social and emotional skills, including how to behave in public and how to communicate with strangers, as well as enabling pupils to form good relationships with others. All pupils are encouraged to work hard to achieve their full potential, however handicapped they are.
Every pupil is rewarded for each step they achieve, large or small.
A pupil is selected every month to be awarded the shield for doing well. In school standards of behaviour are maintained. Pupils are expected to respect others and help those less able than themselves. We try to ensure equal opportunities for all pupils, irrespective of gender, religion, colour or disability. Nursery Unit Children can enter our Nursery from the age of 3, having been assessed as having severe learning difficulties, and having a statement of Special Educational Need.
