Curriculum Rationale
The pupils who attend Evergreen have a diverse and often complex range of special educational needs and disabilities. Each pupil presents with a unique profile of learning characteristics.
With this in mind we have developed a curriculum model to meet the diverse and ever-changing needs of our pupils. We offer an inclusive, personalised and tailored curriculum for all our pupils. With a curriculum designed to be adaptable for each individual, we enable our pupils to travel along their own learning pathway.
We have a strong focus on experiential learning to develop knowledge & understanding through first-hand practical experiences.
We believe this promotes independent enquiry and unique problem-solving methods.
