POLICY ON SCHOOL ORGANISATION

Aims

The school will be organised and pupils grouped:

to support the general aims of the school;

to meet the needs of pupils;

to ensure inclusive, age appropriate experiences for all children

 

Organisational Principles 

Other than where specified in this policy all classes will be mixed ability.

Classes will be grouped vertically as close to age group as possible.

Most pupils will spend a minimum of one year in each class and a maximum of two years depending on pupil numbers.

Additional support and resources will be made available to provide early years intervention, including specialist TEACCH provision for 3 to 6 year olds (see school policy on autism).

Teachers with specialisms in particular areas will be available to  provide support to staff.
