Welcome to Eden!

Our Class

Class Eden consists of Key Stage 1 & 2 pupils with a range of differing needs who are working at a ‘Learning to Learn’ and ‘Access to Learning’ level. We are supported by an experienced and dedicated team who highly value relationships and work very closely and co-operatively alongside a range of professionals including a team of Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Speech and Language Therapists. We maintain strong links with these professionals who regularly review and set individual therapy programmes and carry out small group work or 1:1 focused sessions with pupils as required.

Our Curriculum

In order to maximise engagement and motivation in learning, we have focus topics every couple of weeks which are used as a vehicle to support activities, whilst further developing our knowledge and skills through cross curricular activities. Many of our pupils have high sensory and movement needs and we maintain a similar approach to the EYFS setting by ensuring a multi-sensory, practical and hands on approach to learning. Within our weekly timetable, we have a high focus on Attention Autism, Intensive Interaction, TACPAC and play based learning to support the children’s focus and attention skills whilst providing them with positive strategies to form and develop meaningful relationships with others. Furthermore, we use individual assessment methods e.g. IEP’s which ensure progress encompasses all areas of the child’s development as many of these targets are driven from their EHCP’s. We strive to create a fun and happy learning environment in which pupils feel secure and are able to achieve their full potential.

Learning Environments

We are very fortunate and love having the opportunity to work and play in a variety of learning environments which include our spacious classroom with an enclosed, covered balcony area, our outside playgrounds, sensory room, movement room, learning  pod, teaching kitchen, library area and school hall. We have opportunities to use these different environments for 1:1 and small group work throughout the day to ensure our learning is personalised and varied. We also use our links with Illogan School to provide opportunities for integration and developing our social skills. Most of all, we recognise the importance of maintaining a fun, happy and nurturing environment which enables pupils to continue striving and progressing through all areas of life!
