Pathways
We have developed a progressive curriculum which is integrated so that students can be entered for the most appropriate assessment method appropriate to their needs. We aim to prepare students for their next step into education, work, independent or supported living.
We strive to improve our methods and practice to provide the best we can for our pupils. Each pupil follows their own learning pathway which is tailored to their needs and abilities. Each pathway has a colour but on occasions pupils may move between pathways to ensure they have appropriate learning challenge. We have developed our curriculum with the needs of our pupils in mind. At Highfield School we have a stimulating and enjoyable learning environment with high quality teaching and equipment. The school works to deliver a stimulating and relevant curriculum for our learners.

Within our curriculum intent we firmly believe that the development of the student is at the centre.
Content should be determined by the needs of the child rather than cultural values in respect to academic subjects and so it needs to be pupil centered and not subject centered. (Powell and Jordan 1997:25).
Each pathway encompasses the core elements of learning in English, Maths, Science and the foundation subjects all differentiated to a level that is relevant and meaningful to our students.
