Curriculum Overview
Our curriculum is designed to accommodate and celebrate the diversity of cognitive and learning styles present among learners. It aims to create an inclusive educational environment that recognises and supports the unique strengths and challenges of all learners.
Education at Wilds Lodge school goes beyond academics. We focus on the holistic development of each child, encompassing emotional well-being, social skills, life skills, and creative expression. We strive to cultivate resilience, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
“The school has developed a broad curriculum that provides for pupils’ academic learning and personal development. ”
Our curriculum is characterised by its inclusivity, flexibility, and responsiveness to the needs of all learners. By recognising and accommodating the diverse ways in which learners learn and interact with the world, it seeks to create an equitable and supportive educational experience for everyone.
Our school is a dynamic learning community that values feedback and growth. We actively seek input from learners, families, and staff to continually refine our practices and ensure that we meet the evolving needs of our learners.
If you are a current parent/carer and would like to discuss our curriculum or present any ideas or thoughts you have in a supportive and informal setting—or you would simply like to meet with other parents/carers of our young learners—check out our parent forum.
In summary, our educational philosophy is grounded in the belief that every child is capable of success and deserves an education that respects and nurtures their unique abilities. We are committed to providing a supportive and enriching environment where neurodiverse children can thrive, achieve their full potential, and contribute meaningfully to the world.
“
To change society’s views of unique children, so they can change the world for the better.”
Core Principles (ACCEPT)
At the heart of the service we provide are six core values which underpin how we operate and how we help our learners navigate their respective journeys. As part of the Newcome family, our multi-disciplinary schools embrace uniqueness, foster connections, and value diverse perspectives. We are committed to evidence-based practices and empowering learners to become agents of positive change. We are aware that while the destination may be clear, the path is rarely straightforward, often filled with unexpected challenges. To navigate this, we balance proactive, learner-centred planning with dynamic, responsive decision-making, ensuring the best opportunities for our learners collectively and individually. Having a core value base serves as a road map that influences the choices we make and the paths we choose; informing our actions, interactions, and thought processes.
