This young man's teachers are all so proud of the fantastic progress he has made this year and all that he has achieved. It has been wonderful to see how he has matured and grown in confidence. He is a joy to interact and spend time with and he is always full of giggles and has a cheeky smile. He has benefited tremendously this year by starting to use Proloquo2go, his iPad app, to communicate what he wants. It was wonderful to see the joy in his face as he began to learn that he could use it to communicate to people and voice his wants and needs and especially to ask for his favourite things like McDonalds!

Curriculum

In addition to the national curriculum, Beaucroft offers a personalised, innovative curriculum to meet particular learning needs, focussed on practical community-based learning, creating a friendly, caring environment where children positively thrive.

Qualifications

We provide children with opportunities to make a contribution to their learning, the class, school and the local community.

into adulthood
life skills
developing independence
sixth form choices
