Curriculum intent

At Milton School we want to support all pupils to develop the skills and attitudes to lead fulfilled lives. Our ethos is ‘We know our young people’. This enables us to provide the right curriculum for each pupil to achieve great things. 

The vast majority of pupils at Milton school have autism with their primary need being Communication and Interaction difficulties, which is closely followed by cognition and learning. This impacts how our pupils perceive the world and their desire and ability to interact with others. It is this impact on our pupils’ understanding that can lead to them being additionally vulnerable in a range of contexts and this therefore drives the priorities of our Curriculum.

Due to the rapidly changing cohort of needs we have adapted our curriculum to create 4 different pathways. Engage, Bridge, Connect and Aspire. These pathways enable our pupils to learn and achieve at a level that is suitable for their ability.

All pupils at Milton will access the curriculum at a level that is suitable for their stage not age and meets their SEN needs. Leaders have designed an ambitious curriculum with pathways to suit all pupils.

Curriculum drivers

Our curriculum drivers are consistent and appropriate to all curriculum pathways.
