Meridian Trust is very proud to provide a high quality learning environment for students with particular needs. In both our mainstream schools, and our special schools, we aim to meet the needs of each learner, and to equip them with all that they need to succeed and flourish.
At The Martin Bacon Academy children and young people will be placed at the centre of all we do. This will focus around a core offer of a personalised curriculum. The underpinning ethos of our school is to develop and celebrate each individuals’ qualities, making sure that we plan from where the learner is (if we look/listen carefully enough they will show us).
Being in a very unique situation of a new Specialist Provision sharing a site with a mainstream school, we pride ourselves in being able to offer our pupils bespoke curriculums which meet their diverse individual needs; academic, emotional, social, communicational, interactional and physical. Which may include aspects of work across both schools allowing all young people to draw from and contribute to the wider learning of all students and staff. (My Journey)
‘My Journey’ is a personalised curriculum, with communication at the core. Each individual’s curriculum must start from what we know about them, what they want and need, and the knowledge, visions and priorities of parents, careers and other professionals. We think about future outcomes and put targets and strategies in place to begin the journey of equipping them with skills that will lead to a future where they can be happy, communicate as well as they can and be as independent as possible.
