Our Curriculum Framework
2024-2025
The Curriculum Framework at The Llewellyn is designed to provide a comprehensive and balanced educational experience for all pupils. Our approach is centred on fostering a love of learning while ensuring that each pupil develops the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in an ever-evolving world. We believe in the importance of a curriculum that is inclusive, engaging, and responsive to the needs of our diverse pupil population.
Our framework integrates a broad range of subjects and encourages critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. We are committed to continuous improvement and regularly review our curriculum to ensure it remains relevant and effective. The Llewellyn aims to equip pupils not only with academic excellence but also with the personal attributes necessary for success in their future endeavours.
Our educational and specialist provision reflects on our current cohort of pupils. Our timetables are inclusive, meaningful and incorporate the specialist individual interventions that our pupils need to support their own personal development.
Every pupil at the Llewellyn school has an Education, Health and Care plan, we recognise that many of our pupils are developing at a lower academic level compared to their chronological age; many also experience additional physical and sensory impairments which require specialist medical interventions.
All of our pupils are supported 1:1 and our class sizes are small. Lessons are delivered in a way that are appropriate to the subject and catered to the pupils varied learning styles. Pupil’s are taught by specialist qualified teachers/practitioners who incorporate ways to effectively stimulate each pupil’s learning in a safe and supported environment.
Many staff have now completed British Sign Language (BSL) qualifications ranging from Level 1 to Level 3 and are constantly learning, developing and innovating themselves so that our school continues to offer the very best education.
In addition to our bespoke curriculum, our provision is set in the beautiful grounds of Quex Park Estate, our pupils have access to a variety of amenities such as; forest walks, crazy golf, horse riding, soft play, animal care, museum visits, farmland, craft workshops, shops and cafes. On the school premises we currently have a small animal enclosure that currently houses rabbits, guinea pigs and a tortoise. We also have two school donkeys, Nellie and Phoebe and a therapy dog – Yogi.
Assessment for Learning at The Llewellyn
At The Llewellyn, we recognise the importance of effective assessment for learning in shaping the educational journey of our pupils. Our approach is centred around providing meaningful feedback that supports pupil growth and development. We utilise the B-Squared assessment framework, which allows us to track progress in a clear and structured manner, ensuring that every child's learning needs are met.
In addition to B-Squared assessment, we incorporate Evidence Me for our Equals curriculum. This innovative tool enables us to capture and document evidence of each pupil's achievements in real-time. By using Evidence Me, we can create a rich portfolio of learning that highlights individual strengths and areas for improvement, fostering a culture of continuous learning and self-reflection among our pupils.
The combination of B-Squared assessment and Evidence Me for our curriculum ensures that assessments are not just a means of measuring progress, but an integral part of the learning process at The Llewellyn. Our commitment to personalised education empowers our pupils to thrive academically and socially, preparing them for future challenges while celebrating their unique abilities.
