Therapeutic Curriculum

Therapeutic Curriculum Statement

Curriculum Intent:

The aim of our therapeutic curriculum is to provide a nurturing and supportive environment where pupils can develop their social, emotional, and mental well-being, alongside their academic progress. We aim to create a holistic approach to education that addresses the individual needs of each pupil, focusing on building resilience, self-esteem, and emotional regulation skills.
