PATHWAYS OF<br />

LEARNING AT DCIS<br />

Our Learning Pathways are structured as follows:<br />

PATHWAY 1<br />

Pathway 1 is the mainstream provision, delivering quality-first teaching in a differentiated classroom. Should<br />

students require additional short-term support in order to meet the learning outcomes, this can be offered<br />

through our learning support and therapy teams. The students’ needs are met within the mainstream<br />

environment and the student is withdrawn from the class <strong>for</strong> extra support. This also includes students<br />

studying English as an Additional Language, accessing a language intensive specialised English curriculum.<br />

PATHWAY 2<br />

Pathway 2 provides a greater level of<br />

support due to a higher level of need.<br />

Pathway 2 is aligned to the curriculum of<br />

Pathway 1, however, outcomes are adjusted<br />

<strong>for</strong> each student. The student is taught in<br />

a smaller class, with 8-10 students, with a<br />

teacher and teaching assistant to provide<br />

a greater level of support. Classes are<br />

twinned with a Pathway 1 class <strong>for</strong> nonacademic<br />

subjects to enable students<br />

to learn and socialise with their peer<br />

group, whilst receiving support to move<br />

to independence in academic subjects.<br />

Students in Pathway 2 may transfer to<br />

Pathway 1 when they are confident and<br />

able to independently access learning.<br />

PATHWAY 3<br />

Pathway 3 provides the highest level of support <strong>for</strong><br />

students with more significant learning and/or social<br />

needs. An individualised curriculum and support<br />

programme is required <strong>for</strong> these students. Our Pathway 3<br />

programme offers more intensive support and resources<br />

delivered by highly trained Special Educational Needs staff.<br />

The ratio of adults to students is increased and the class<br />

size is reduced with 8 students per class. Pathway 3 classes<br />

are located centrally in R block within the school to enable<br />

access to a wide range of support services including;<br />

physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and<br />

language therapy, as well as our educational psychologist.<br />

Integration and twinning plays an important part of the<br />

school day. Pathway 3 students play, eat and share many<br />

learning opportunities together with other students<br />

across the school to foster a truly inclusive environment.
