The School currently
offers the following services for children aged 5-11
years.
Full-time daily provision for children with
Cerebral Palsy and other motor disorders of
neurological origin of early primary school age. We
also offer a transitional service which helps
prepare both the child and the receiving school. We
offer sessional services to provide on-going contact
and input for children who have left, and their
families, for as long as is required.
Our curriculum, due to the
nature of cerebral palsy, is usually broader and
more holistic than a traditional curriculum in
mainstream settings.
Within a Conductive Education framework, conductors
design and implement a curriculum which covers all
of the needs of the children with cerebral palsy and
additional motor disorders. This curriculum also
teaches those skills as well which typically
developing children would usually develop
spontaneously. Academic programmes are delivered
through the National Curriculum. These have been
integrated with the requirements of Conductive
Education to provide access to a broader and
balanced curriculum.
Overall aims may include:
-
developing children’s
range and co-ordination of movement.
-
developing children’s
abilities in self-help skills
-
developing the
children’s social and daily living skills.
-
developing children’s
expressive and receptive language.
-
opportunities to
study a broad and balanced curriculum
-
working with parents to
develop children’s learning at home
-
liaising with other
professionals as appropriate.
