The curriculum at Bligh House is designed to support each child’s individual needs and help them feel confident and ready to learn. The curriculum is designed to fill gaps in learning attributed to time missed from education.

Where children have missed learning, we gently revisit and introduce key knowledge to help them access age-appropriate lessons with confidence. Teachers regularly check understanding and provide support to help fill any gaps.

Alongside academic learning, we place a strong focus on developing social skills, communication, and interaction. Children also benefit from integrated support such as speech and language and occupational therapy within the everyday learning environment.

• Our entry curriculum for Year 7 and 8 promotes progress, discovery and confidence.
• In Year 9, we further develop this, whilst preparing for GCSE content.
• In Year 10, we embark on the first stages of GCSE qualifications while channelling intrigue and ability.
• In Year 11, we progress the students ability and confidence in order to tackle GCSE qualifications, where suitable.
