Provision
Pens Meadow School provides holistic provision for children and young people aged 3 to 19 with severe, complex, and profound learning difficulties.
Our provision is designed to offer a broad, balanced, and highly contextualised range of learning experiences, ensuring every young person has the opportunity to achieve their outcomes set out in their Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP).
In order to support them on their journey, we provide:
-
Appropriate and in-depth assessments of needs
-
Individualised plans to address those needs
-
Continuous support and improvement to the delivery of provision
- Robust monitoring and reviews to identify next steps
Pyramid of Learning
Every pupil at the school is unique. We strive to meet their individual needs, improve their learning preparedness and enhance their opportunities to become 21st Century Citizens.
We ensure that pupils:
- Achieve their best
- Become confident individuals, living fulfilling lives
- Make a successful transition into adulthood
At Pens Meadow School, we know that for pupils to make maximum progress toward their EHCP outcomes and preparation for adulthood, our provision must be of the highest quality and tailored to meet individual needs.
As a school, we follow the philosophy of the Pyramid of Learning. Originally developed in 1991 by occupational therapist Kathleen Taylor, and special educator Maryann Trott. It is also referred to as the Taylor-Trott Pyramid of Learning.
The pyramid demonstrates the importance of provision. Including sensory input, regulation and perception to provide a stable foundation for living skills, behaviour and academic achievement. It also supports our drive for achieving the highest outcomes for our pupils.
We work in close partnership with a wide range of external professionals to provide a seamless support system for our pupils. This includes:
