How We Teach

A Personalised Way of Learning

We use a structured, multisensory and personalised teaching approach that supports each pupil’s unique learning style. Small class sizes, visual aids, therapeutic strategies and hands-on activities help learners stay engaged, regulated and confident in every lesson.

Teaching at Comitas

Our curriculum is brought to life through:
  • Multisensory and structured, but responsive and playful
  • Delivered in small groups (6-8), with opportunities for 1:1 sessions
  • Supported by specialist teaching staff and therapists
  • Designed around topics and themes, drawn from National Curriculum objectives and pupil interests

Enrichment and Experience

Our curriculum is brought to life through:
  • Forest School
  • Swimming and outdoor education
  • Creative Arts and play-based learning
  • Educational visits and community experiences
  • Regular theme days and cross-curricular projects
These experiences are not extras — they are central to helping our pupils explore the world, practise skills and develop their voice and identity.

Ongoing Review and Development

Our curriculum is reviewed regularly to ensure it:
  • Remains ambitious, relevant and inclusive
  • Reflects best practice in SEND and therapeutic education
  • Matches the changing needs of our pupils and families
We use a range of tools — including EHCP reviews, teacher assessment and therapy input — to monitor progress and adapt plans accordingly.

Curriculum Pathways

A Guided Learning Journey Built Around Each Pupil

At Comitas Education, every pupil follows a curriculum pathway tailored to their individual strengths, needs and EHCP outcomes.
Our three pathways provide the flexibility to meet pupils at their current stage of learning while supporting them to progress at their own pace.

Pathways are not fixed by age or key stage. Pupils may remain within a pathway or move between pathways over time, depending on their development and learning profile.

01

Learning to Learn

We support pupils at early developmental stages through sensory-rich, structured and therapeutic learning experiences that build communication, engagement and emotional regulation.

02

Participation in Learning

This pathway helps pupils develop functional literacy, numeracy, social understanding and independence through scaffolded, hands-on and highly supported learning activities.
