Conductive Education
is a teaching method developed for children with cerebral palsy - with the
aim of helping each child to develop the physical, intellectual and social
abilities to the best of their ability in order that they may become as
independent as possible.

 |
The Trust's Conductive Education School
is a Department
for Children, Schools and Families approved Independent School
for children with physical disabilities. The Conductive Education
curriculum is planned and organised to meet the special educational
needs of young children with cerebral palsy. The National Curriculum
is also delivered to the appropriate age groups.
|
The children are taught in groups by teams
of staff according to age:
Parent & Child Group
The Parent & Child Group, a part of
SCOPE's School for Parents Network, places parents at the forefront
of their child's learning, developing partnerships between parents,
children and staff members. By attending these group sessions, the parents
and children learn all the skills necessary for the children's independence
in daily life.
Foundation Stage
Class
The Conductive Education curriculum incorporates the Early Learning Goals in compliance with government guidelines. Differentiated activities accommodate each child's individual special needs. Particular emphasis is placed on valuing the child's contributions positively, developing the child's confidence, sense of achievement and self worth.
Key Stage 1 and
2 Classes
Children are taught Key Stage 1 and 2 of
the National Curriculum within the framework of the Conductive Education
Curriculum with appropriate provision being made for children who need
to use a means other than speech for communication.
As many of our children go on to mainstream
education, our training and outreach support service aims to help and
advise the receiving schools to ensure that the transition is a successful
and happy one for the child.
