""Prior's Court is an exceptional school that serves some very special pupils outstandingly well.
Through its intensive support, the school gives a voice to its pupils, many of whom have struggled for
years to be heard.
"Pupils feel safe at the school because they know that staff will support them every step of the way.
They trust adults to look after them, and they know that adults will help them to overcome
challenges when these arise."
Ofsted Education Inspection 2022
An annual Parent Survey is carried out and results and responses are
summarised with copies sent to parents and available at reception. Annual
Reviews and Looked After Children Reviews are held to enable staff, parents/
carers and professionals from the School and the placing Local Authority to
review each child's progress. An independent advocate visits the school
regularly. The School has a Head of Continuous Improvement whose role covers
quality assurance to ensure that it continues to deliver the highest standards of
provision.
3. The curriculum
How will the curriculum be matched to my child/young person's needs?
The Waking Day curriculum:
The Prior's Court Learning Framework and This Is Me plans provide our young
people with a programme of learning which is individualised to meet their needs
and build on their strengths and interests, across the seven Areas of Learning -
Communication, Positive Behaviour Support, Healthiness, Daily Living Skills,
Vocational Learning, Functional Academics, and Keeping Me Safe.
The most crucial factor in achieving success for our young people is consistency
of approach. As such, learning takes place throughout the entire Waking Day and
in all settings, including education, residential homes and within the wider
community.
A collaborative process involves Learning, Wellbeing and Night teams, and multidisciplinary
staff working together with specialists and parents/carers to ensure
consistency of approach.
