Woodview
Woodview is our specialist hub and provision for children and young people with speech, language and communication needs.
About Woodview
Our Woodview provision opened in September 2022 with its first group of Year 7 pupils. As of September 2023, we have both Year 7 and Year 8 groups following our bespoke Woodview curriculum.
The Woodview curriculum is designed primarily for students with Social, Communication and/or Language Needs (SCLN). Many of our young people join us from mainstream primary schools but benefit from a smaller, more nurturing secondary environment where their individual needs can be fully supported.
Curriculum
Our curriculum is carefully designed to meet the individual needs and aspirations of every student. It helps children and young people to become active, independent, and empathetic learners, while developing strong communication and physical skills that prepare them for life beyond school.
Our Ethos
Woodview follows the whole-school ethos at Ingfield, aiming to ensure every student fulfils their potential and is well prepared for a happy and successful life.
The Woodview curriculum focuses on helping young people become active, independent, and empathetic learners. Through a balance of skills and knowledge development, pupils are supported to build strong communication and social skills that will serve them both in school and beyond.
We’ve been blown away with how you and Ingfield have managed the COVID situation. To say you’ve been amazing would not do you justice!
Beyond Academics, Nurturing Emotional Intelligence and Independence
Alongside the National Curriculum (adapted to meet the needs and interests of our young people), the Woodview curriculum is designed to build confidence, resilience, and emotional awareness. Students are supported to recognise and manage their emotions, develop problem-solving skills, and grow in independence.
In addition to academic learning, pupils have the opportunity to work towards a range of qualifications, including Entry Level Certificates and/or GCSEs, as well as wider enrichment awards such as the Arts Award, John Muir Award, and Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE).
Personalised Learning Through Small Classes and Transdisciplinary Approach
Due to the small class sizes (6-10 students) and high staffing ratios (3-4 staff per class), we are able to differentiate to challenge and stretch the more able whilst providing structured support for those requiring more assistance. We focus on filling gaps in students’ learning and enabling the students to develop a range of personalised strategies to enable them to access their learning and show their knowledge and understanding, such as the use of technology, multi-sensory resources and scaffolding to support the development of skills.
We operate a transdisciplinary approach, where SaLT, OT and teachers work together with individual students at the centre. Ingfield Manor School therapists work 100% on site and are employed directly by the school.
