Cherry Class supports children with complex learning needs alongside additional health and medical needs. Children benefit from a high staff-to-pupil ratio, allowing for highly personalised learning and care throughout the school day.
Cherry Class follows the Adventurer pathway, with learning structured around a child-led and individual timetable that is carefully tailored to each child’s needs. Children follow a pre-formal or semi-formal curriculum, focusing on holistic development across four key areas: cognition and learning, communication and interaction, physical and sensory development, and social, emotional and mental health.
Daily routines include physiotherapy and occupational therapy programmes, which are built into learning and play. The class team works closely with a wider multi-disciplinary team, including therapists and specialists, to ensure every child’s needs are fully supported.
Learning is engaging, relevant and multi-sensory. Children access specialist provision such as light and sound experiences, sensory circuits, dark room sessions, outdoor learning, hydrotherapy and rebound therapy, all of which support communication, physical development, regulation and wellbeing.
There is a strong focus on personal, social and emotional development, helping children express preferences, explore interests, develop awareness of others and build confidence at their own pace.
Cherry Class provides a nurturing, safe and supportive environment where every child is valued and supported to thrive.
