Curriculum Overview

Our curriculum is designed around the needs of our students. Broadly speaking, it encompasses everything we do at Kings Meadow - it goes far beyond a mere timetable. It’s what is taught explicitly in the classroom, to the interactions and language we use to communicate and share in experiences.

By means of collaboration, reflection, and a dedication to understanding, we intend to create a culture that enables our students to flourish both at Kings Meadow and beyond.

Intention is very important to us; all experiences that occur within our school are by design.

Thematic Curriculum

Through our flexible, tailored, thematic curriculum, we aim for students to leave Kings Meadow School with the ability and confidence to build relationships, communicate, and learn with independence.

We believe that children who attend our school must be equipped with: 

  • An understanding of the world and their place within it 
  • The ability to live and thrive independently  
  • The capacity to engage in learning 

To achieve this we must discover and address their gaps, not only with regard to EHCP outcomes, but in core concepts, knowledge, and skills in reading, writing, maths, and PSHE, along with other areas of the national curriculum.
