enhanced pathway

At Queen Emma’s Primary School, we are dedicated to nurturing the whole child through a well-rounded education that extends beyond traditional academics. We are excited to have a bespoke Enhanced Pathway to ensure our pupils with specific Special Educational Needs have the best possible provision. It is tailored for pupils who require specialised support that goes beyond what can be offered at the high level our students deserve in a mainstream classroom. Alongside our curriculum, we offer life skills lessons and a comprehensive Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) curriculum created by the Mulberry Bush School.

Our approach emphasises the development of essential skills such as resilience, self-awareness, and emotional regulation, ensuring children are equipped to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. Through our outreach program, students have the opportunity to learn in mainstream classrooms for part of the day, allowing them to benefit from a diverse educational experience while still receiving the targeted support they need.

Previous Terms:

memorable experience - rocks, relics and rumbles

Everest had a fantastic memorable experience today learning about fossils, rocks and relics! They gained first hand experience sorting and labelling rocks and minerals, and learnt about fossils and ammonites. They had so much fun handling fossilised mammoth and shark teeth, and were able to handle a range of different animals’ vertebrae!

 

Science Week 

Science Week was full of curiosity and excitement as we investigated the question "Which colour sweet is the strongest?" We designed experiments to test the strength of different coloured sweets, using weights and pressure to see which would hold up best. The results were surprising — some sweets were much tougher than we expected! It certainly got us thinking about materials and structures, and the children made some brilliant predictions and observations.
