Curriculum Intent

At New Avenue School, our curriculum is designed to provide a balanced and supportive educational experience that meets the diverse needs of our pupils. Our core intentions are to:
 

• Deliver education through therapeutic principles, ensuring equal support for academic and personal development, creating a nurturing environment where every pupil can thrive.
   

• Ground teaching approaches in SEN research, personalising learning to meet the individual needs, strengths, and goals of each pupil, fostering growth at their own pace.
   

• Offer opportunities for formal qualifications aligned with pupils' abilities, interests, and aspirations, ensuring they are well-prepared for further education, training, or employment.
   

• Extend learning beyond the classroom with relevant, hands-on activities that build life skills, foster teamwork, and inspire curiosity about the world around them.
   

• Emphasise self-awareness, social skills, and emotional resilience, while encouraging pupils to pursue their personal interests and hobbies, supporting the development of unique talents and passions.
