Rowan Tree
At The Rowan Tree we provide an ambitious curriculum that enables pupils to be ready to learn, make progress and achieve, whatever their starting points and whatever special educational need they might have.
We provide our pupils with a curriculum that is broad, balanced, motivating and accessible to all and focusses on developing transferable skills and knowledge that equip our pupils for the next stage in their education and life beyond school as confidently and independently as possible.
Our curriculum ensures all pupils learning is meaningful, enjoyable, inclusive and engaging. All learning is personalised and takes into consideration the pupil’s learning pathway, interests and learning styles, ensuring access to learning opportunities for all. The curriculum offers breath, balance and sequential learning that enables pupils to build upon their prior learning, know and remember more and be able to generalise skills.
Teaching and Learning is not limited to ‘lesson time’ but all learning opportunities are utilised, such as break times, snack time, in the playground, in the dining room, personal care routines and when out in the community. These opportunities are planned for and include meaningful generalisation of skills across a range of settings.
Our curriculum provides our pupils with learning opportunities that are relevant, motivating and offer challenge.
