Delivered by specialist teachers, the flexible programme will help schools to accommodate a wide range of needs and supports internal alternative provision, flexible, and part-time timetables. Academy21 understands the importance of developing the whole child, not just the academic learner. Writing lessons naturally combine with PSHE content, turn-taking, circle time and teamwork; the maths curriculum is centred around engaging tasks that encourage sharing, movement and confidence in key areas of the national curriculum; and reading classes equip pupils with skills needed for fluency, comprehension and inference, alongside dialogue about wellbeing, current affairs and values.
