Curriculum intent

The LPW School curriculum aims to:

• Ensure learners feel physically and emotionally safe, enabling them to engage fully with their education.

• Build confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing through therapeutic and educational support

• Develop reflective, responsible and respectful attitudes, enabling students to thrive as active and engaged members of society

• Provide personalised pathways that meet individual needs and incorporate students' interests and ambitions

• Promote literacy, numeracy and scientific skills as key academic foundations

• Equip our learners with qualifications, practical experience and cultural capital to support their progression into adulthood

• Enable learners to develop transferable skills for employability, further education and independence

We do this through a relational approach, which recognises that attachment relationships have a direct bearing on children’s capacity to succeed in life.

The LPW curriculum is designed to meet individual learners’ needs through personalised timetables that are developed after robust initial assessments. These assessments identify each learner’s support requirements, therapeutic needs, interests and preferred methods of engagement. The curriculum is holistic, integrating academic, vocational and personal development through a graduated response.
