Welcome to St Bernard’s. We are a school in the market town of Louth.

All of our children and young people have an Education Health Care Plan in place. The school positively supports students aged 2 to 19 with a wide range of learning difficulties. Some students have, in addition, other conditions which impact on their learning. These may include autism, communication difficulties, complex health issues, sensory processing difficulties, physical disabilities, profound and multiple disabilities, sensory impairment and social, emotional and mental health needs.

At St Bernard’s you will see different pathway approaches across all key stages. However, the focus is very much on an individualised pathway, as we offer a personalised curriculum for each and every student.

The pathways mean that we can tailor the curriculum to meet needs.

At all stages we support a flexible approach as we are very aware that students needs change, not only over long periods of time but also over shorter times too. We encourage our students to mix where appropriate so that they are continually building on their experiences.

What you will see across all groups:

High focus on communication - we have a whole communication approach where all adults model signing, verbal communication, use of symbols, written and pictorial communication as well as alternative means such as PECS, PODD, iPad, switches

Visual support - all students are supported to access schedules, first and then boards, symbols, signs and labels. This supports them knowing what is expected and can reduce anxiety.

Restorative support - all students are supported to understand different feelings. Key vocabulary is displayed around school to support positive behaviour and increased self regulation. Red and green thoughts are reinforced through all areas of school so that everyone begins to understand that ‘all feelings are ok’, we then support the students to understand what to do when they have a range of thoughts and feelings.

High focus on independent skills - at all stages we support growing independence in our young people. In some instances this is through TEACCH where students access work areas or work stations and access activities without adult intervention. This is highly structured and planned in order that independent skills are developed over time.

Individual approaches - within all groups, individual needs are reflected and supported. This is led through one-page profiles which are displayed in all classrooms. This gives an insight into what each individual needs and how they are

Welcome to St Lawrence School in Horncastle.

At St Lawrence we meet our students at their point of need creating a flexible and personalised curriculum based around 4 distinct pathways ensuring regular opportunities for social interaction opportunities with their peer group.

The school positively supports students aged 5 to 16 with a wide range of additional needs. All of our children and young people have an Education Health Care Plan in place.

We focus on positive relationships between all students and staff to support successful learning.

We use a restorative approach to empower the students as much as possible to understand, regulate with support and ultimately to self-regulate their behaviour in a positive way.

We use a variety of different interventions to support our students in all areas of need.

We have whole school communication approach with adults modelling Makaton signing, verbal communication, use of symbols, written and pictorial communication as well as alternative means such as PECS, PODD and iPad.

All students are supported to access visual timetables and schedules as needed to support them to understand expectations and to reduce anxiety.

Throughout the school we support growing independence in our young people working towards our aspirations for them as they move towards adulthood. This
