Pre-formal learners access a pre-formal curriculum across Key Stages One – Five. The pre-formal curriculum embedded at Tulip Academy Spalding is non-subject specific for assessment purposes and teaching and learning underpins the five aspects of The Engagement Model and the five core aspects to engagement:
- Exploration
- Realisation
- Anticipation
- Persistence
- Initiation
Our two pre-formal class groups (Springview) have succinct over-arching topic themes which lend themselves to an exceptionally high quality of teaching and learning opportunities most pertinent to individual needs and abilities and how these pupils learn best.
For those class groups in Key Stage Four and Five group learners, as part of their curriculum, access inclusion visits within local adult social care providers to support with their transition into adulthood and life after Tulip Academy Spalding.
