Education
Effective Learning and Teaching at Bramfield House School.
We acknowledge that people learn in many different ways, and recognise the need to develop strategies that allow our students to access learning in ways that support and challenge them. We aim to take into account the varied needs of our students when organising our curriculum and teaching. We also acknowledge that developing strong relationships with students in our school is beneficial and contributes to their academic and personal development.
Pupils are encouraged to learn by being provided a curriculum that meets their special education needs. There is a focus on functional skills, lifeskills and practical subjects to engage and motivate our learners. A creative and flexible approach to the National Curriculum is welcomed to reengage and stimulate interest in learning, and address deficiencies in basic knowledge and understanding.
Student progress is measured against individual standards as well as in line with national averages. Maintaining high expectations of our learners by providing a learning environment that encourages and supports students in achieving their potential is a priority. Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is supported through a broad and balanced 24 hour curriculum and fostering positive relationships within the school community.
Communication, modelling and specific teaching of the school expectations for behaviour and learning are an emphasis for working with students both in the classroom and in the house environment. Based on the ECM framework, students at Bramfield are expected to be healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve and make a positive contribution.
