Brimble Hill Special School

Every child is a unique child who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured in their own way. All children are valued and respected and offered equal opportunities. Children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships, within a safe, secure, enabling environment.

The curriculum: what we want children to learn We want all children to develop the skills that they need for life, including communication skills, social and emotional skills, physical skills and personal care and independence skills. We aim to provide a wide range of experiences which engage, motivate and challenge each pupil.

Children learn and develop well in enabling environments, in which their experiences respond to their individual needs and there is a strong partnership between practitioners, parents and carers. Children develop and learn in different ways. Assessment is about noticing what children can do and what they know. It is not about lots of data and evidence.
