Norham class offers Specialist Sensory Provision for pupils with Profound, Multiple and Complex Learning Needs. Many of the pupils have additional medical needs and multi-sensory impairment.

The pupils in Norham class follow the pre-formal curriculum pathway. The curriculum is themed and modified to suit the needs of the pupils and incorporates advice provided by multi-agency professionals. The curriculum is based upon sensory activities invoking responses from the pupils using sight, smell, sound, taste and touch with frequent repetition of activities to embed concepts and skills.

The class teacher delivers most of the curriculum, supported by an Enhanced Teaching Assistants and three Teaching Assistants. Specialist PE and swimming teachers deliver rebound, PE and swimming.

In Norham Class this term we have begun working on our topic of “Autumn”. We are enjoying our sensory story “The Leaf Man”, it is great fun being splashed by leaf man when he jumps into the river. As well as exploring our focus of Autumn, we have been developing our self-help and independence skills, working on our switch work in different sessions. We have been making use of our new pre-formal cooker, creating some fabulous autumnal themed treats!

Below are some photographs that show some of the things we have been up to this half term.
