Welcome to Beech Class

 

We are a key stage 2, Enrichment Pathway class at Hawthorns School.   We follow a bespoke curriculum focusing on foundational skills that enable the students to become confident, happy and independent learners.

The curriculum is split into three key areas:

  • My Communication
  • My Thinking and Problem Solving
  • My Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Our key priorities are providing a nurturing and stimulating learning environment, that allows students to access the curriculum through a total communication approach alongside enabling resources that scaffold learning.

We use the SEE-KS framework to inform our teaching which focusing on three key areas:

  • Fostering Investment
  • Fostering Independence
  • Fostering Initiation

The Adults in Beech Class are:

 Name  Position
 Miss K. Daziel  Class Teacher
 Miss D. Mistry  Teaching Assistant
 Mrs R. Vaughan  Teaching Assistant

In addition to the three key areas, we also cover a wide range of exciting topics to expand our interests in the world around us. Topics have a History, Geography or Science focus, each are taught as experiential learning opportunities that are hands on and engaging. Each session is differentiated to ensure all students can access the topic and is therefore meaningful and purposeful for them.
