Curriculum

Depending on the needs of each individual child, we use our Pathway 1, 2 and 3 curriculum. 

Please click on the links below to explore each pathway

The rainbow icons below also show what other interventions we currently use to support our children.

Firefly curriculum is very varied and tailored to the needs of our class family. Some of our children will access main school for various sessions dependent on their EHCP targets. Our class is predominantly pupils with Autism although not exclusive to this need. We focus on developing independence, academic and social skills using strong boundaries. We use many of the curriculum pathways to provide an individual learning path for each child at their own pace.
