Ingfield Manor School

Curriculum

The school offers a curriculum that is broad and balanced. It is based on and firmly embedded in the theory and practice of Conductive education and includes a full commitment to pupils’ entitlement to the National Curriculum, which is modified to take account of their individual needs.

It is designed to develop pupils’ independence, communication and mobility across all Key Stages.

The school has excellent resources to support the delivery of the Curriculum. A network of multi-media computers and associated access devices are in place, as well as varied resources to support teaching and learning.

Communication plays a key part in being able to access the curriculum, and the school supports many pupils to learn through Augmented and Assisted Communication (AAC).

Assessment is an ongoing process. Each pupil had a detailed Individual Educational Plan showing aims and outcomes of both individual and group work. This is regularly reviewed and revised and summarised for the Annual Review Report. Parents are invited to submit a written report for the Annual review. Pupils make a contribution to their report and from year five are invited to attend the review. At this time a pupil’s Statement of Educational Needs is reviewed, progress is reported on and new aims are agreed.

Pupils’ termly targets are sent to parents with information about class topics and themes. Care plans are written in conjunction with parents and explain in detail the management and holistic needs of each pupil.
