From the Dorothy Goodman School Hinckley
Our goals and vision form the basis of everything we do. They serve as the foundation for our instruction and learning and create a setting that enables our students to develop into confident, content citizens. Individual differences are acknowledged and accepted in our school, but they are never viewed as a roadblock to success. By modifying the curriculum and teaching strategies, we make sure that our students have the best possible chance of academic and social success. The teachers at our school are dedicated to working with students who have a variety of learning needs, such as autism, profound and multiple learning disabilities, severe learning disabilities, moderate learning challenges, and more (including those who may be functioning at high levels academically). High expectations for what all of our students can do through good or better instruction and a carefully planned curriculum are crucial. At our school, we have a wealth of specialised knowledge and experience. Good teamwork is crucial since staff members operate in multi-skilled teams where teachers are in charge of overseeing the tasks of support personnel in their classes.
