At Our Place School, we are proud of the fact that we aim to shape what we do according to the individual pupils on roll. As such, we are flexible in how we devise and deliver the curriculum we offer and will continue to adapt and refine it as the need arises. We aim for our curriculum to be inclusive for all our pupils needs.
Using our assessment and knowledge of pupils, we plan our curriculum to encourage next phases of learning to support progress. We work hard to identify and remove barriers to learning by using our expertise, sensitivity, perception and adaptability to respond to the pupil’s changing social and emotional needs. We provide opportunities to experience challenge and success and know when to ease off when frustration / lack of resilience begins to show.
We know that our pupils respond to innovative and flexible approaches to learning and therefore use these to motivate and promote curiosity and intrigue. We believe that pupils learn in different ways, so we modify our teaching styles and resources to match pupil’s learning styles. We allow pupils to make mistakes without undue criticism and we give them time to be successful.
We value all attempts and contributions. We actively promote that the pupils have ownership in their own learning and if they are selfmotivated in a particular area, this is encouraged and supported.
We encourage our pupils to persevere and thus develop resilience
