VALUES AND BELIEFS ABOUT TEACHING AND LEARNING

Learners

Learn best when their basic needs are met, they are safe, well and healthy, they are stimulated, motivated and challenged, valued, respected and treated fairly, have choices, are enabled to communicate and are listened to and feel included.

Need high quality teaching and learning environments with time to develop leisure and social skills, friendships and independence. 

Staff

Work together to provide high quality teaching, an environment that is happy and a curriculum that is relevant, practical and appropriate based on process and skill to help each of the learners reach their individual goals. 

Parents and Carers
