At The Bridge London Satellite, we aim to provide an education for all our pupils that reflects the National Curriculum but which also takes account of their individual learning needs. The School provides a creative, broad, and balanced curriculum that encourages learners to achieve their potential. However, it is recognized that reasonable adjustments to the National Curriculum will be needed. Alongside the adjusted National Curriculum, we will be running the ‘additional’ curriculum. The ‘additional’ curriculum will allow greater emphasis on the following key areas Social Communication and Interaction Emotional understanding and self-awareness Independence Sensory and Physical OUR MISSION: "To improve children and young people’s lives through innovative teaching and integrated approaches". OUR CORE VALUES: PRIDE PASSION POSITIVITY PARTNERSHIP PROFESSIONALISM The aim of our provision is that all pupils feel included and accepted to achieve their full potential. We want our pupils to be confident, happy, self-aware and independent learners". To meet the individual needs of pupils in our school a range of strategies and interventions are utilized to support our pupil-centered approach. Understanding a pupil’s individual needs is central to all aspects of school life including the learning environment (both indoor and outdoor) and teaching approaches. The CSC Strands will be taught across all Key Stages and are embedded in all aspects of the school day. In addition to the CSC, we will deliver a modified version of the National Curriculum in line with our partner mainstream school. This modification will involve tailoring what is taught and how to suit the specific learning requirements of each pupil. For example, we may cover slightly different topics/programs of study within a National Curriculum subject or we may reduce or increase the focus on specific topics/programs of study within a subject.
