At Oak View School we look to bring the enjoyment and confidence back into the learning experience of our young people.
With a maximum of 12 students within the school we offer a tailor-made curriculum which gives academic, vocational and therapeutic opportunities to re-engage in learning, socialisation and achievement.
Many of our young people will have disrupted educational backgrounds and need a flexible yet stable foundation on which to re-engage. As such Oak View School works within the therapeutic model of PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy). We understand that behaviour is communication. By working within PACE, the school’s approach is designed around making our young people feel safe and accepted and, in time, giving them the confidence to be able to grow in their esteem, independence and trust.
There is a strong focus on functional literacy and numeracy to ensure that when it is time, our young people feel secure in entering the world of work and the responsibilities which go with being a young adult.
The interests of our young people will be highlighted within their timetable to open opportunities of achievement for them.
Students will work towards AQA Unit Awards, Functional Skills in English, Maths and IT, ASDAN and the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
