Everyone has the right to:
-
Be treated with respect: keeping your hands, feet and unkind words to yourself
-
Be accepted for who we are.
-
Be listened to and supported.
-
Try their best and be recognised for their achievements.
-
Learn in a safe school environment where resources are cared for.
Education
Historia House curriculum is creative, individualised and flexible, tailored to the complex learning needs of the individual pupil and enabling those needs to be met. It supports our vision by giving pupils the opportunity to learn and develop in a supportive and creative environment in which there is a focus on recognising achievement and supporting progression.
​
In addition to the academic curriculum, individualised timetables provide opportunities for pupils to withdraw from some lessons to participate in therapy sessions. The curriculum is enriched by educational trips and visits, local community links and opportunities within the timetable to engage with new experiences such as music workshops, gardening and educational visits.
​
Visual Timetable
Our focus on the Creative Curriculum has developed an innovative approach to the way we meet the special and often challenging needs of pupils. Our ‘Visual Timetable’ is typical of this approach, created to ensure pupils understand their daily routines
Our Environment
Historia House provides the best physical environment for the needs of children and young people. Our newly refurbished building with specialist facilities provides a spacious, calm and safe environment in which young people can thrive and learn. Such facilities fully support our creative learning curriculum where we utilise various communications systems which is led by our SENCo and Speech and Language Therapists.
​
State-of-the-art specialist facilities
Our facilities and classrooms are equipped with state-of-the-art education technology such as interactive touch screens which you would expect to find in any modern school. Many of our specialist facilities support the sensory diet requirements of pupils, that is, sight, sound, touch and smell to develop their senses, co-ordination and communication, promoting interaction, concentration, calmness and confidence.
Sensory Integration Room
Designed to stimulate and support the children’s sensory needs and motor skills. The young people can use the equipment to manage their own arousal levels and our multi-use sports hall provides a large space for a variety of activities, games and therapy, this environment provides an area for the young people to interact with their peers.
I can't thank you all enough.
