At Newbury Manor School, we offer a tailored, therapeutic curriculum designed to meet the individual learning needs of our young people. We combine academic learning with practical skills, emotional support and personal development—helping every pupil grow in confidence and discover their strengths.
Our curriculum pathways
Pupils are placed in pathways depending on their needs and EHCP outcomes:
- Those working within the Formal Pathway work to an adapted National Curriculum, and during KS4 years these pupils will work towards accreditations in line with their ability. Subjects offered within our secondary offer can be adapted depending on pupils’ needs, abilities and interests.
- Pupils working outside of the National Curriculum work in our EQUALS classrooms, across the Semi-Formal and Informal Pathways. They engage in areas of learning that are designed to develop with pupils’ own interests and attention. Informal learners operate on a no-demand schedule, with opportunities to develop across the key areas below. Semi-Formal learners follow a low-demand schedule according to their needs, follow the Equals key areas below.
- My communication
- My outdoor school
- My independence
- My play and leisure
