Our Pre-Formal Curriculum at Fairfield is planned for our pupils with profound and complex learning needs who require a personalised approach, and where they are able to develop positive relationships with others and a sense of belonging and trust in the school environment. Opportunities are planned which are personalised and meaningful, celebrating the different abilities and achievements of every individual.

The initial areas of learning focus on communication, social and emotional and cognitive skills. It values and recognises the importance of movement and play, and the needs for multi-sensory approaches to support learning and proactively explore the world around them. All pupils will be encouraged to achieve the highest level of personal mobility and independence which will be planned into their learning opportunities.
