CLASSES

At Phoenix Academy we provide students with a high level of support in small classes, the focus is on building trusting relationships and provision of individualised support.

Class sizes of no more than four students, with the support of one teacher and one LSA allows for individualised learning and assists students to reduce their individual barriers to learning.

A greater level of support can be arranged such as 1-1 LSA or teacher support, this need is assessed pre-admission.

Student grouping is based on age and ability, both academic and social needs contribute to class grouping.

Within the school day there is a focus on core subjects in the morning and enhancement activities in the afternoon, there are short breaks throughout the day together with grouped lunch breaks and end of day class circle time; this allows for individual and group reflection, together with celebration of progress and success.
