Our curriculum offers a balanced, personalised learning experience that supports academic progress, emotional wellbeing and prepares every pupil for future success.
Find out moreMany of the pupils who attend Oakwood School have previously struggled to engage in education and may have had negative experiences in the past.
At Cambian Oakwood School, each learner follows a programme that is appropriate to their age and ability. Baseline assessments help us set personalised learning goals and create a curriculum tailored to individual needs, with Literacy and Numeracy at the core. Older pupils also have opportunities to pursue accredited courses and take part in work experience to support their post-16 aspirations.
Pupils’ progress and achievement are constantly monitored in order to adapt teaching and learning with further support or to stretch and challenge our students accordingly.
To complement this personalised approach, we help pupils develop the confidence and resilience they need to succeed. Our learning and development programme encourages every young person to take positive steps in their education, build independence and recognise their growing strengths. This is reinforced through ROCCIE, our whole-school framework that introduces key concepts each half-term and helps learners understand how their actions, choices and attitudes influence their progress.
