Our trained staff employ a variety of strategies and interventions to cater to the complex needs of our pupils, ensuring they have the best opportunities to thrive.

4. Engaging, Sensory, and Flexible Curriculum:
We meticulously plan our curriculum to be engaging, sensory, and flexible, ensuring that it caters to the needs of every child. Collaboration with clinical teams, including Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language, and educational psychologists, allows us to address sensory needs and provide pupils with the opportunities they need to grow academically and develop their independence skills.
5. Emotional Literacy:
As part of the KS2 timetable, our pupils have one lesson of emotional literacy each week, which is linked to the zones of regulation. This valuable lesson is led by our assistant psychologist, offering children the tools and knowledge to navigate their emotions effectively.
6. Reading-Focused English Curriculum:
High Peak School emphasises a reading-focused English curriculum, which is closely linked to current texts addressing contemporary situations. Pupils have daily opportunities to read and listen to stories, nurturing a love for literature and language.
7. Outdoor Learning:
Our new outdoor learning area provides pupils with the opportunity to continue their education outdoors, fostering social communication skills, providing sensory experiences, and contributing to their overall well-being.
8. Weekly Assemblies:
Pupils participate in weekly assemblies with themed links to SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social, and Cultural education), PSHE (Personal, Social, Health, and Economic education), and RSE (Relationships and Sex Education) topics. These assemblies offer children a platform to discuss important issues as a class and engage in related activities, with their work documented in Learning logs.
Our caring and experienced staff, inclusive approach, engaging curriculum, and supportive environment ensure that each child can grow academically and personally while celebrating their unique abilities and achievements.
