Four pathways are based on the Main Site:
Explore Pathway
This pathway supports pupils in EYFS and Key Stage 1 with moderate to severe learning difficulties through a bespoke, play-based curriculum tailored to individual needs. Grounded in EYFS principles and the four SEND areas of need, it emphasises hands-on, meaningful learning to build engagement, communication, and early development. Learning experiences balance child-led and adult-led activities across indoor and outdoor environments. There is a specialist CMLN Explore class based at Farnley Partnership).
Aspire Pathway
This pathway provides a highly individualised, play-based curriculum for learners in Key Stages 2-5 with Autism and complex communication, aligned with the four SEND areas of need. It offers a holistic, needs-led programme focused on communication, independence, community inclusion, and health and wellbeing. Learning is experiential and sensory-based, using real-world contexts and continuous provision to build engagement, regulation, and life skills.
