Our curriculum is designed with differentiation at its core. We recognise that learners have varying abilities and learning needs. Our teachers utilise a range of instructional strategies, materials, and assessments to meet each student at their level and support their progress.

The curriculum pathway at Sallygate School ensures a clear progression of skills and knowledge across all subject areas. We carefully scaffold learning experiences, building upon prior learning and providing appropriate challenges to enable students to advance at a pace that suits their individual needs.

We develop Individualised Learning Plans (ILPs) for each student in collaboration with parents/guardians and professionals. ILPs outline specific learning goals, accommodations, and strategies tailored to address the unique strengths and areas for development of each learner.

We incorporate multi-sensory approaches into our curriculum to cater to different learning styles and preferences. Visual aids, manipulatives, technology-enhanced resources, and hands-on activities are employed to engage students and facilitate deeper understanding.

Our curriculum includes thematic units that integrate various subjects around a central theme or topic. Thematic learning promotes cross-curricular connections, fosters critical thinking, and enhances students’ understanding of real-world applications.

We provide personalised support within the sequenced curriculum pathway to address specific learning challenges. Our team of specialised professionals, including learning support assistants, therapists, and counsellors, work collaboratively with teachers to provide targeted interventions and guidance.

Regular assessment and feedback are integral components of our sequenced curriculum pathway. We use a variety of assessment methods to gauge students’ progress, identify areas for growth, and celebrate achievements. Timely feedback ensures students receive guidance and encouragement throughout their learning journey.
