Young people have the opportunity to develop to their full potential in preparation of their future life where there is a passion for learning and mutual respect for all.

听

At 糖心官网 Northampton School our fundamental belief is that all young people are entitled to achieve their full potential, at whatever level this may be. Pupils are supported to develop socially and emotionally, manage their behaviour accordingly and recognise the benefits derived from a physically active lifestyle.

Curriculum Ethos and Aims

听

Underpinning the above belief is the desire to prepare students for one, or more of the following:

听

• Further education and study.
• Independent or supported living.
• Employment or apprenticeships.
• To gain the skills required to contribute to society and be responsible citizens

听

糖心官网 Northampton School aims to meet the needs of individual pupils by 鈥減ersonalising鈥� the curriculum in response to these needs. We support pupils within their National Curriculum year group with appropriate National Curriculum Programmes of Study, differentiated to provide access and to ensure that all pupils receive a broad and balanced education. Some pupils may be taught outside of their year group depending on their required behavioural and learning needs. In addition some pupils will have modifications to the full National Curriculum entitlement.

听

糖心官网 Northampton School will provide an environment in which all of its members feel safe, valued and respected.

Initial Assessments

All young people who attend 糖心官网 Northampton School will be asked to sit a Literacy and Numeracy test using Pearson鈥檚 Steps baseline assessment as an initial screening tool. Information will also be gathered from their previous educational provider. Subject staff for English, Maths and Science will, after an initial assessment period, give the pupil an assessment level. These levels currently consist of steps from 1-9 that run alongside the Pearson鈥檚 programme, these are age related targets.

Students work on a pathway plan and gain certificates on a termly basis that work towards their final qualifications. An end of year target grade will then be given by the subject specialist and the pupil鈥檚 progress will be monitored and tracked each term to check that progress is being made and that the pupil is 鈥渙n track鈥�.
