• Developing every pupil to their full potential is at the centre of our curriculum and one of our core beliefs and values. To do this we focus on the “whole” child and their individual needs. Our staff team work together to support every child through their Individual Pathway across the key areas of our curriculum. Their Pathway is planned from the outcome of their assessments and additional information gathered at Induction and reviewed throughout a young persons time at Hopewell.

​

• We recognise and understand that by the time they arrive with us, Hopewell pupils may have significant experience of trauma, difficulties with attachment, a range of mental health difficulties as well as difficulties self-regulating and managing their own complex needs and challenging behaviours, anger and aggression. They may also have experienced a sense of failure and rejection from other educational providers and school settings which could have significantly impacted on their sense of self and self-esteem and confidence.  

​

• Our curriculum is designed to support pupils to explore and develop the skills and attributes which they will need as they progress from school into adult life, college, apprenticeship or work as well as offering a wide range of educational courses that will enable them to achieve a range of qualifications.
