ARB Kenwyn Class

At Kenwyn ARB, we’re proud to provide a nurturing, exciting and inclusive learning environment tailored to meet the unique needs of every child. Our carefully planned curriculum is designed around each pupil’s Individual Provision Map (IPM) and the four areas of need outlined in their Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

A Curriculum that Sparks Joy and Curiosity 

We follow a topic-based approach, focusing on just three immersive topics across the year. This gives our children the time and space to really explore and enjoy each theme at their own pace:

• Autumn: Colour and Light – a vibrant topic exploring the world through art, science and sensory experiences

• Spring: Communities and Cultures – learning about the diverse world around us, through food, music, people and places

• Summer: On the Move – a dynamic topic about transport, travel and journeys of all kinds

Our curriculum is flexible and responsive, meaning it adapts as our pupils' interests and needs change. We weave in all core primary academic subjects, alongside the 7 EYFS areas of learning and the 5 Engagement Model areas for our learners working below the National Curriculum.

Learning in Kenwyn Class is always hands-on, engaging and fun. We use a rich variety of sensory materials, real-world experiences, and child-led approaches to keep motivation and curiosity high.

Communication is Key

Helping our pupils express themselves and understand others is at the heart of everything we do. We support all forms of communication, whether spoken, signed, visual or technological, using tools such as:

• Makaton signing

• Widget symbols

• Sound buttons and communication devices

• Visual supports and structured routines

We work hard to make sure every child has a voice – and that they are heard.

Celebrating Progress

Each pupil has their own Learning Journey book and Tapestry account that captures and celebrates their achievements, progress and special moments throughout the year. We gather evidence from multiple sources to ensure we are always tailoring learning to each child’s individual pathway.

Staying Connected

We love sharing our learning with families! Throughout the year, we’ll keep you updated via Tapestry, where you’ll be able to see photos, videos and reflections from the classroom.

If you ever have questions about your child’s learning, progress or experience in Kenwyn Class – please just ask. We’re always here to chat, support and celebrate every step of your child’s journey.
