In Lower School we range from Year 1 to Year 7. We operate on a primary model (keeping the same teacher and class) and incorporate lots of hands on learning. In KS1/2, there is continuous provision available to help support with all areas of the curriculum. There is also lots of outdoor learning areas to help support with our fine and gross motor skills.

In the KS2/3 area, we continue to work on our independence skills and start to experience other areas of the school including the Art Room and Science Labs. We learn the same subjects as would be found in mainstream but include a lesson a day called ‘WoW’ which stands for ‘Ways of Wellbeing’. This lesson includes elements of PSHE, RSE, physical and mental health as well as speech and language with a different focus each day.

We enjoy outdoor learning in Lower and have termly visits to Horseworld, Bristol Cycling Centre, Gymnastics and Swimming to name but a few! We also have access to Forest Schools provision and Gardening areas.

The Heads of Lower school are Hannah Harold who oversees KS1/2 and Rob Baker who oversees KS2/3.
