Our Class Ethos
With a strong focus on encouraging Communication, we care for each other, while having fun learning
and celebrating our achievements.
Hello my name is Julie and I am the teacher in Wren Class.
In Wren Class the needs of individual pupils are at the heart of everything we do. We are creative in our approach and have a cross curricular termly topic, teaching activities are informed by the school curriculum and pupils personal needs and interests. We aim to provide a bespoke learning environment for each pupil and use a combination of approaches and strategies to achieve this.
In Wrens we have strong focus on developing Social and Communication Skills. We adopt a total communication approach. This means we value any form of communication, behaviour, gesture, visual symbols, sign language, as well as spoken words. We use visual aids including symbols to promote communication and social skills during teaching activities.
Pupil’s personal social and emotional needs are supported using consistent routines and boundaries. Provision for the pupil's sensory needs are an integral part of our daily routines and teaching activities.
We recognise the importance of building links between learning at home and the improved outcomes that happen for pupils when we get this right. Sharing ideas, as well as staying informed about achievements they make at home and school is fundamental in helping them to achieve their best. I am available before and after school each day if you would like to speak to me either in person or by telephone or you can drop me an email.
