Informal Teaching and Learning Group

The Informal Pathway adopts a fully personalised curriculum which is wholly driven by EHCP outcomes and individual learner needs. Learning is facilitated through play, exploration and multi-sensory experiences where adults adopt a responsive, reactive and engaging Intensive Interaction style approach.

The key focus to the curriculum are communication and interaction, independence, physical development, sensory processing and PSHCE. Topic based learning is the hook for the acquisition of new skills and knowledge. A range of curriculum strands are encompassed within the content such as early Maths and English. Examples of approaches used to achieve learning are sessions such as attention autism, sensory stories, sensory massage, sensory circuit and many more.

Our curriculum also aims to provide pupils with as many enhanced learning experiences as possible. These will include trips and visits to places such as the John Charles Athletic Centre, Pudsey Civic Hall (for sensory days) and the swimming baths.

We strive to bring as many visitors into school to enrich your child’s learning journey.
