Curriculum

The Woodlands Curriculum 

The Woodlands provides education for pupils who are permanently excluded, are at risk of permanent exclusion, or who cannot attend school because of health needs.

Our aim is to deliver a tiered programme of targeted intervention and support that enables pupils to succeed in either their first-choice mainstream setting or most appropriate educational provision.

Whole School Curriculum Intent

Overarching Curriculum Intent

  • To support the academic and social and emotional development of all pupils, to enable reintegration or movement to a mainstream provision or their next educational establishment.
  • To deliver a curriculum that is personalised for individual pupil need, supports ambition and interest and allows opportunities for pupils to become involved in their own learning.
  • Provide a broad and balanced variety of academic, vocational and technical experiences which will ensure that pupils develop the skills, concepts and knowledge necessary for future learning or employment.
  • To provide a range of academic and therapeutic interventions to match the needs of all pupils
  • To promote pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and prepare all pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life in modern Britain.
  • To identify and assist any pupils affected by issues including neglect, child abuse, domestic violence, mental health and parental substance abuse to develop confidence, resilience, knowledge and the skills required to thrive in education and society.
