SEND & the Curriculum
At EEHS we expect all students to study the English Baccalaureate (GCSEs in English, maths, double science, geography or history and a modern foreign language) and pupils with SEND are no exception to this.
We believe offering a broad and balanced curriculum, along with additional support where necessary, is the route to success for all students. There is strong evidence that studying a modern foreign language is extremely beneficial to students with SEND. Studying a language can:
- Improve understanding of language constructs
- Improve articulation
- Develop social skills
- Develop cultural awareness
- Improve memory
- Build self-esteem
As we are committed to a holistic approach to student support, we also expect all pupils to study a GCSE in a sport based subject. Studying a subject like this can:
- Improve mental health
- Encourage a healthy diet
- Lead to improved fitness
