Applefields’ curriculums have been developed through extensive research into SEND over a 4 year period and from visits, research and interactions with outstanding settings. We use the EQUALS Curriculum schemes of work alongside other appropriate material including the National Curriculum.
We assess the impact of our curriculums through Evidence for Learning (EFL) monitoring each pupils’ learning journey for each curriculum area. MAPP and a comprehensive toolbox of differentiated systems are used to assess progress within EFL.
Below is an example of Applefields School’s formal curriculum overview long term planning documentation that incorporates our rolling programme of themes. Each heading links to useful planning documentation, theory and relevant and rich materials for all our learners . Our detailed curriculums provide teachers with a menu of accessible and relevant topics to help our students develop what is relevant to them and their identified EHCP broad areas of need. EHCPs and personalisation remain at the heart of everything we do.
We strongly believe our curriculum fits with our ethos of Wellbeing and Regulation, Communication and Independence, Personalisation and Preparation.
