INTRODUCTION
The Green Unit is a specialist Special Educational Needs department supporting students aged 5 to 21 with a range of learning needs.
We provide a personalised, holistic education that focuses on academic progress, independence, and social and emotional development.
Our provision is structured across five phases, ensuring continuity and progression for all learners:
| Foundation Phase (Ages 5-7) |
| Based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), adapted to meet individual developmental needs through play-based and structured learning. |
| Lower Phase (Ages 6-8) |
| A modified Key Stage 1 curriculum focusing on early literacy, numeracy, communication, and social development. |
| Middle Phase (Ages 8-11) |
| An International Primary Curriculum (IPC) that builds core academic skills alongside independence and confidence. |
| Upper Phase (Ages 11-16) |
| A modified Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 curriculum, alongside ASDAN Life Skills programme. |
| Higher Phase (Ages 14-21) |
| Students follow the National Curriculum KS3. We have 2 pathways, one which focuses on vocational learning, ASDAN programmes, life skills, and preparation for further education or employment. The second is academic where students have the opportunity to work towards their IGCSE Examinations. Opportunities for integration into mainstream subjects are available for students with specific strengths. |
