Focus on recognising achievement
Linton School’s curriculum is individualised and flexible, tailored to the learning needs of the individual pupil and enabling those needs to be met.
It supports our vision by giving pupils the opportunity to learn and develop in a supportive environment in which there is a focus on recognising achievement and supporting progression to develop employability skills.
In addition to the academic curriculum, individualised timetables provide opportunities for pupils to withdraw from some lessons to participate in therapy sessions with the Occupational Therapist (OT).
The curriculum is enriched by educational trips and visits, local community links and opportunities within the timetable to engage with new experiences e.g. music workshops, gardening and educational visits.
