Hope Community School classes are made up of up to 30 children, of mixed abilities, where the children are encouraged to cooperate with one another in a nurturing environment. This spirit of cooperation and care makes it possible for children to see each other as individuals as opposed to competitors.
Curriculum plans focus on the progression of developing individual children’s skills and subject knowledge.
Each class has a teacher and a teaching assistant. This also allows teachers and pupils to create meaningful relationships and provide additional support to those who need it.
Outdoor learning
Where possible we want to take learning out of the classroom. We feel experiential learning is key for children to connect what they are learning to its relevance. We do this through:
- Learning outside of the classroom
- Using the local park.
- Regular visits and school trips - for example to the beach, local museums and educational institutions
