Our Curriculum – Primary
At our Bennerley Site, we support students in Primary through to Key Stage 3 who have either been permanently excluded or are at risk of permanent exclusion from mainstream education. Our focus is to positively re-engage pupils in preparation for the next stage of their educational journey, whether that be reintegration to mainstream education or where appropriate transition between our own sites and key stages.
Our Primary provision offers academic mornings focused on core subjects, including phonics, and Personal Development afternoons where we deliver our REO curriculum. We have a mix of full time students who access our full programme and dual registered students who attend for either the morning or afternoon sessions.
Students are taught via a thematic based approach and have access to English, Maths, Art, Science, Humanities, PHSE and Sport. During the morning sessions, we offer a typical primary model based on improving academic skills in accordance with the national curriculum whilst in the afternoon, our REO curriculum focuses on building students’ social skills and resilience.
Intent
To focus on helping young people to build core social skills, regulate their behaviour and support academic progress.
Implementation
- Thematically organised curriculum where learning occurs across a broad range of subjects, with the aim of mastering transferable skills.
- Therapeutic intervention to support communication and social development
- Reading intervention to support age related expectations
- Social and personal development sessions
Impact
Pupils are successfully reintegrated into back into mainstream education or specialist educational setting where there needs can be appropriately met. Whilst at EVA students develop mechanisms to regulate their behaviour, avoiding permanent exclusion and achieve academic success.
