Oak Class is made up of 12 children and is part of Key Stage 3 (KS3), alongside Beech, Maple and Willow. Oak class will suit learners who are able to access some Pre-Entry level or Entry Level 1 courses when appropriate to their age. The focus will be on helping them to prepare for increased independent involvement where the learning has meaning that leads to greater independence in life quality. Learners in Oak Class do learn slowly and there is significant need for repetition, therefore work will often be revisited on a cycle basis with more challenging outcomes. Repeating skills will allow the learners to maintain them and they will be given opportunity to transfer the skills to different contexts in order to gain better mastery of them. Working in small groups with sufficient staffing to support and facilitate the learning. Whilst Maths, English and Science will be taught as discrete subjects the other curriculum areas will be; My Independence, Cooking, World Around Us, PSHE, Creative Art, PE and Preparing for Adulthood.

Our Oak class team is led by Mrs Wood (Class teacher) and supported by 2 additional teaching assistants.
