The HUB

Learning via stage, not age.

In the Hub we are proud of our creative curriculum, which draws together many areas of the national curriculum into a series of exciting topics. Our bespoke, differentiated curriculum, which includes pre-teaching, overlearning, concrete examples, visual support, and experiential learning across many subjects is designed to raise achievement and ambition, and encourage creativity and independence. As the students’ progress through the topics, they can build on and develop a varied and important range of skills. We believe that immersing students in their learning is the best way to truly involve and inspire them and encourage them to take ownership of their learning. Our intent, that our students will leave school prepared, knowledgeable, confident, independent and motivated for life’s journey, is central to guiding and forming the curriculum for our students.

We do this by providing:​

• A broad and balanced curriculum, covering the National Curriculum, as well as current issues such as health, safety (including e-safety), personal and social development and an understanding of their place in their local community.
• Students follow various accreditations ranging from Entry Level 1 through to Entry Level 3 in functional skills English, maths and science.
• The opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in a variety of ways, building upon a solid foundation for future learning.
• Classes that encourage children to develop self-confidence and aspire to be their best.
• Positive learning experiences include taking on responsibilities, teamwork, visitors and educational visits.
