Our Curriculum
At Vermont School, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive, achieve, and discover their unique strengths. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to provide a supportive and stimulating learning environment specifically tailored for students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.
We understand that traditional learning environments may not always meet the diverse needs of our students. That's why our curriculum goes beyond academic subjects, focusing on a holistic approach that nurtures personal growth, fosters emotional well-being, and equips students with the essential skills for a successful future.
The Vermont Pathways
At Vermont School, we believe every child is entitled to a curriculum that is appropriate to meeting both their SEND and educational needs. All our pupils have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and require modified approaches to achieve their aspirations and goals. Our curriculum reflects the main EHCP areas and addresses pupils’ individual needs and barriers to learning so that every pupil can develop to reach their true potential. The curriculum equips pupils with the skills and knowledge they need to prepare for their continued educational journey and the wider world.

Emphasis on Well-being
At the heart of our curriculum is a commitment to mental and emotional health. We integrate strategies that promote self-regulation, resilience, and positive relationships. This includes dedicated time for therapeutic interventions, social skills development, and opportunities for emotional expression.
Engaging and Relevant Content
We strive to make learning exciting and meaningful. Our curriculum is designed to be highly practical and relevant to real-world experiences, sparking curiosity and encouraging active participation. Whether in the classroom or through enrichment activities, children are encouraged to explore, question, and discover.
Developing Life Skills
Beyond academic achievement, we are dedicated to preparing our children for life beyond school. Our curriculum incorporates vital life skills, including problem-solving, communication, and independence, empowering them to navigate challenges and embrace opportunities with confidence.
