KS2
Given the context of Ridgeway School, as an area special school, it remains vital that all children learn in the four prime areas in addition to the specific. These prime and specific areas can be found on the curriculum page.
Key Stage 2 is a crucial part of pupils preparation for adulthood and their development of further knowledge and learning skills.
Key Stage Two and Three lessons are based on a play and exploration approach to teaching. Teachers plan enabling activities with opportunities for children to make progression in each of the prime and specific areas. The Areas of Learning are delivered through half termly topics which rotate on a three year cycle.
We recognise that it is important for our pupils to have opportunities to put into practice skills which they are learning in the classroom. Visits to local community such as visiting local shops, cafes and leisure facilities enable these classroom learnt skills to be applied, generalised and embedded in real life situations. Through the engaging curriculum, we provide the children with safe and appropriate ways to begin to develop skills which will be invaluable for the future e.g. developing independence, resilience.
At Ridgeway, we currently have 4 Key Stage 2 classes.
