Welcome to Dolphin Class

In Dolphin class, our primary aim is to create a safe, nurturing learning environment in which our learners can grow and develop at the pace appropriate to their needs. We place a strong emphasis on functional communication and interactions, developing each learner's individual modes of communication. In Dolphin we follow a weekly timetable which includes sessions of English, Maths, Topic, PSHE and Protective Behaviours, PE, Science and Forest School. As well as fun and engaging whole class opportunities, individual activities are differentiated according to learners' targets and areas for development. We use a variety of learning modes within a communication-friendly classroom environment to engage our learners, with play based and sensory opportunities linked to our curriculum. Topics include My Town, Festivals and Celebrations, Victorians, Transport and Hot and Cold Countries. Building positive and trusting relationships is the number one goal of the staff in Dolphin class, which then sets the foundation for purposeful learning and progress.
