Our Offer





Initiate
Informal Curriculum, with access to Semi-Formal
Our Initiate pathway is designed for our learners who require a play-based approach moving on to further experiential learning as they move through school. It has been designed to maximise the opportunities for developing independence and preparation for adulthood. Our semi-formal curriculum providing a combination of structured learning activities, life skills, hands-on practical discovery, intensive interaction, and learning through play. This reflects our understanding that learners respond better where learning is set up to be more functional and related to their own experiences.
