Oak Class

Intent  To prepare students for life after Mountjoy.

Implementation Post-16 Curriculum

Working closely with our young people and their parents and carers, we aim to create and achieve realistic and aspirational goals for the future by offering a bespoke curriculum experience for each student based on their interests, hopes for the future and ability. This includes opportunities for work based learning, qualifications and awards and enriching experiences to prepare them for independent living. 

Impact Our young people leave school with a planned future destination tailored to their individual needs.

The core curriculum for students in this stage is English and Maths, some lessons in these areas will be taught in the classroom, some of the teaching is practical and functional and takes place in the community. 

Students are taught problem solving skills and a focus on developing independent skills in all areas at an individual level. 

Students continue to follow a Multi-Sensory Curriculum in this stage which will focus on their individual therapeutic needs. 

We currently work towards Qualifications in ASDAN Life Skills Challenges. 

We explore the options available to our young people when they leave Mountjoy by visiting Further Education providers. In the past, pupils who have left us have gone on to Life Skills courses at Weymouth College, Employ My Ability, Yeovil College, Lufton College, Millie College and The Sheiling School. More recently we have had students leaving with Health care packages, support in their homes and to access activities they enjoy across the week.
