Danecourt curriculum allows educational teams to flexibly personalise each pupil’s curriculum in line with our core aims to ensure that:

* Pupils have the ability to communicate with people and the world around them, leading to highest degree of independence possible

* Pupils develop social competencies in order to behave in a socially acceptable manner

* Plans are made for the future needs of child and family

* Pupils learn the skills they need to keep healthy and safe

* Pupils develop self-esteem and confidence in all aspects of their life

* Pupils develop thinking skills and enable them to learn for themselves in academic and non-academic dimensions

Danecourt school recognises that all children have unique abilities and ways of learning. We totally support the need for a broad and balanced curriculum however it must be wholly appropriate to the needs of the child. Education is concerned with the  as a whole. The principles underpinning the curriculum focus on the outcomes which pupils and their families want to achieve so that all decisions are informed by their aspirations.
