33 Date updated: 25.08.2023 next review: 24.09.2024 Implementation: Maximising opportunities The Continuous Curriculum (Waking Day / 24 hour Curriculum) The continuous curriculum offers learning opportunities in real life situations, which help to further develop independence, functional living skills and social communication as well as generalising the skills and knowledge that are focused on at school. Key strategies and interventions related to communication, interaction, independence, sensory , physical, emotional and social needs are passed onto parents and carers so that learning opportunities can be consistently embraced and maximised when out of school and in their family life. Our ‘therapy offer’ further enhances learning across the waking day, by supporting the young people in all areas of life (Education, Care and family time). They also share our Vision, Ethos and Belief of our Curriculum Intent. The Therapy Team is at the heart of all that Overley Hall offers and shares the school’s Vision, Ethos and Belief in our Curriculum. Together we are able to offer a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach that can be accessed at all times, providing advice and support across the waking day. Further enrichment and SMSC Our curriculum offer is further enhanced through our Calendar of Events where rich experiences are planned whilst taking into account Local, Regional, National or Global current affairs and celebrations. Events are then organised such as Coffee mornings, Classroom or school votes, Christmas Markets, Online Safety Awareness week, Sponsored walks or even a Farm Shop experience. This could involve part of the sixth form, serving customers such as parents, staff or other learners who then have their opportunities to experience buying goods. Through this cross-curricular approach, not only are learners offered opportunities to generalise knowledge, skills, subject disciplines and topics, it also ensures that relevant and current agendas can be inclusively accessed.
