At Venturers’ Academy we ensure students are challenged to use a range of social skills in different contexts, for example working as a team through the Forest School and Active Enterprise experience, visiting places with historical significance and showing a deep respect, tolerance and understanding of the culture and beliefs of others.
The literacy and numeracy curriculum is delivered in the mornings which is further supported by subject learning assessed through the SEND toolkit on Classroom Monitor, Mathematics Mastery, Read Write Inc, Student Agency In Learning (SAIL) and the Curiosity City Framework.
‘Flexible Friday’ involves exciting, experiential learning experiences complimented by a whole school Praise Assembly linked to our reward system. There are 6 lessons in each day.
Therapeutic interventions compliment targeted academic interventions and a highly personalised approach to learning. We have embedded a well-managed differentiated (three levels of service) integrated working approach to therapy provision directed at maximising preparation for learning and learning activity. Mental Health and Wellbeing of all stakeholders is central to our mission.
