Extra-curricular
Enrichment is key in supporting our pupils in becoming more independent, inclusive and individual. Independence is encouraged when learners work with their peers in lunchtime clubs and with student volunteers. Using local facilities allows our pupils to interact and become a part of the wider school and local community. Specialist Strategies ensure we can effectively create an environment in which pupils can explore their personalities and interests.
Independent Living Skills
This is an extension of the 'role play area'. Here learners work on gaining and generalising skills within a realistic setting such as a kitchen or a bedroom. This zone offers opportunities to develop independent living skills such as cooking, cleaning and personal hygiene. These may be modelled by an adult first and then scaffolded for learners to follow independently.
Role play (community)
For KS3+ the role play area can be changed based on creativity and role play ability of the learners. The role play area may change to a cafe, shop, library (common places they may visit or places of interest to the learners). The zone may stay the same across the whole year e.g. a 'shop' but the theme of the shop changes (toy shop, book shop, food shop) rather than the skill of the role play.
Experimenters
For our KS3+ learners, 'experimenters' is similar to exploration in KS2- but there may be more 'community/life skills' equipment available. This zone contains materials that are otherwise unavailable in the rest of the class. There may not be play shelves as the learners are encouraged to 'explore' independently and access some resources independently.
Reading and Leisure
This is a calm zone in the classroom where books, magazines, iPads and laptops are available to access at all times. Learners may ask for music or videos for leisure. Some learners may use iPads and laptops to research information to extend their knowledge.
