Woodside Lodge Outdoor Learning Centre Independent special school

Overview

Our mission is to provide a safe, secure and therapeutic environment, where children with an Autistic spectrum condition can find enjoyment and happiness whilst accessing their own individual timetables.

Our aim is that each student reaches their full potential whether it be academic or vocational, and they leave our provision, aged 19, with a clear pathway into a life, as independent as their abilities allow.

Curriculum

We offer an individualised curriculum to suit the needs of all of our students. Initially, we assess the anxieties and stresses of each student, which form their own personal barriers to learning and put plans in place, in the form of 'Personal Progress Plans' and individualised timetables, to allow them to overcome their barriers and access a broad and rich curriculum, designed to enable them to make steps towards their future goals.

When the students are ready, we introduce a bespoke curriculum tailored to meet the
needs of the individual student, identifying a pathway into adult life. We address
educational qualifications, vocational opportunities, essential lifeskills and other key areas in transitioning to the next phase.
