Hazelwood School

Curriculum

Hazelwood School aims to provide a safe and secure learning environment for all pupils with a particular emphasis on developing life skills and promoting independence. As most of our pupils have a visual impairment, with some also having a hearing impairment, as well as additional learning difficulties, our curriculum is multi- sensory and differentiated to meet the individual needs of pupils. Educational programmes are devised in collaboration with other specialists including physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, educational psychologists and school children’s community nurse, ASL schools.

CURRICULUM FOR EXCELLENCE

Curriculum for Excellence has been introduced to raise standards of learning and teaching for all 3 to 18 year olds. It aims to help prepare children and young people with the knowledge and skills they need in a fast changing world. As part of Curriculum for Excellence all children from pre-school to the end of S3 will receive a rounded education known as a Broad General Education (BGE). Curriculum for Excellence highlights the importance of bringing real life into the classroom and taking lessons beyond it.

Through the experiences we provide at Hazelwood School we want our children to become Successful Learners, Confident Individuals, Responsible Citizens and Effective Contributors. We are committed to providing children with a broad general education and focus on eight curriculum areas.
