Curriculum

At Melksham House we offer 3 curriculum pathways:

EYFS

Our EYFS curriculum is accessible, engaging and effective for our SEMH cohort. Early intervention is the key and we will ensure we a positive start to Melksham House life by modelling and embedding our focus of ‘trust, safety and learning’. We provide a person-centred approach to learning building on the child's or young person's interest and successes.

Primary

Primary children and young people can access the breadth of the Primary National Curriculum. Teachers personalise, adapt and focus schemes of learning to the individual needs of the child or young person. Reading and phonics are prioritised.

Secondary EBSA

Secondary pupils can access the breadth of the secondary national curriculum. However, how they access the curriculum will be dependent on the child or young person's presenting need. This cohort of pupils will benefit from access to teachers and a pupil coach who will work with them on an outreach model to create a PLP that provides the emotional literacy support to help them manage their mental health needs. It is expected that pupil timetables move from an outreach model to a hybrid model of outreach, online learning and school site education with the long-term goal that the pupil’s attend full time education on the site of the school.
