Curriculum Policy and Course Offer
Band 1 Students in Band 1 enjoy the security and consistency of mainly accessing one teaching space and having a consistent lecturer throughout their week. Many students in Band 1 require this high consistency of routine and approach to keep anxieties minimized, meaning that the majority of their activities are planned and coordinated by one lecturer with one room as a teaching base. Students still access other parts of the College and community where appropriate to embed learning tasks they have rehearsed in the classroom, however this is on an individual basis depending on their confidence to do so. The curriculum is theme based for each term, but still plans for the key areas of study outlined in each students’ Individual Learning Plan, and tailored to their own individual needs and areas of interest.
