Treetops

Treetops

Welcome to our class page! 

St. Matthew's strives to ensure all pupils receive a curriculum which is best suited to an individual's needs. In September 2025, we opened 'Treetops', to enable some of our pupils to access learning within a safe, happy and regulating learning environment. The learning which takes place within Treetops focuses on the academic and life skills curriculum. 

By creating this learning environment, we can offer specialised resources and targeted interventions that are essential for addressing children's individual learning needs. This approach not only fosters an inclusive atmosphere but also enables us to closely monitor their progress and adapt our strategies as needed, ultimately promoting their social, emotional, and academic growth.

The children have access to a specialised learning environment specifically designed to meet the needs of students whose individual needs impact considerably on their communication and learning needs.

Curriculum

In Treetops, the children have a range of different needs and have unique ways of learning. Different learning needs require different teaching approaches, which often change over time. We work closely with external agencies such as Woodbridge SEND outreach, Speech and Language, Educational Psychology and Greenfold Outreach to provide a bespoke experience for our children reflective of their needs. 

We adopt a blended approach of an informal, semi-formal and formal curriculum, which progressively prepares children to access the National Curriculum to ensure that: “All children and young people are entitled to an education that enables them to make progress so that they: achieve their best and become confident individuals living fulfilling lives.” (SEND Code of Practice).

Structured learning provides stability, predictability, and security. For children who access Treetops, these are crucial elements to ensuring that our children are ready and able to learn. The way in which a child’s day is structured and organised depends on their individual needs and we provide a blended curriculum approach to ensure that children engage with learning at their bespoke level, and access their year group curriculum and social times, where appropriate.
