There are four groups of approximately eight pupils. The curriculum offered to all pupils includes the National Curriculum and programmes specifically designed for the individual needs of students with autism. Subject teaching is offered in the secondary department as is a wider range of subjects. There remains a strong focus on Community based education and the development of social skills and communication. Links with local schools are being developed to enable opportunities for integration.
Students experience vocational training, work experience, and opportunities for integration.
All students in this group have a Transition Plan drawn up in accordance with the 1993 Education Act. The Jubilee Unit is situated in Gravesend and is within easy access of the Central Business District. Students aged sixteen to nineteen years are offered a broad and balanced curriculum covering the areas of numeracy, literacy, information technology, personal, social and health education, vocational studies including work experience, independent living skills, craft studies, horticulture, physical education, aesthetic, creative and leisure skills. The Jubilee Unit is involved with the Youth Awards Scheme, a nationally recognised activity-based programme which facilitates the development of accreditation of personal and social skills across a range of contexts. The Transition Planner acts as a link between the school, parents and Social Services.
