Quality of Education

---

Intent

Morning sessions prioritise core academic learning (English and Maths) aligned directly to the host school curriculum and individual EHCP outcomes. Learning is sequenced, purposeful, and adapted to meet pupil SEMH / SEND needs.

Implementation

Classroom-based learning is delivered in a calm, neurodivergent-friendly indoor space, enabling pupils to engage in focused tasks such as phonics, reading, writing and numeracy. Learning is then applied outdoors through contextualised activities (e.g. maths through map work, science through woodland / farm-based learning), supporting retention and understanding.

Impact

Pupils demonstrate improved engagement, confidence, and progress in core subjects, alongside increased readiness to learn and sustained participation across the day.

• Clear routines, visual timetables, and regular emotional check-ins support positive behaviour and emotional regulation.
• Pupils are supported to understand expectations through the sharing of ground rules and risk assessments, and consistent adult modelling.
• The balance of structured learning, movement breaks and time in nature reduces anxiety and supports sustained focus.

• Daily opportunities to build resilience, independence, teamwork and self-esteem are embedded through practical tasks, tool use, food preparation, and Forest School exploration.
• Pupils develop social communication skills, risk awareness and self-regulation in a safe and supportive environment.
• Outdoor learning promotes physical wellbeing and positive mental health.

• The timetable reflects a clear educational vision that balances academic rigour with therapeutic outdoor-based learning.
• Provision is flexible and responsive, adaption to pupil age, needs and EHCP outcomes.
• Bespoke curriculums are carefully designed by highly experienced teaching staff.
• Staff use reflection and ongoing assessment to evaluate impact and continually improve practice.

• Safeguarding is embedded throughout the day with structured risk assessments, supervision, and consistent check-ins.
• Pupils are taught to manage risk safely, particularly during outdoor and tool-based activities. 
• Strong relationships and routines ensure pupils feels safe, supported, and able to share their concerns.
