Progress Monitoring
The specialist curriculum at LVS Hassocks recognises every child as an individual and will enable your child to realise their full potential.
Through research with health and educational specialists, employers and parents, we have developed teaching and learning methods to help young people with an autism diagnosis. These strategies for life and learning will give them opportunities and skills for successful employment.
Our Assessments
We achieve this through assessments at the beginning of each academic year including:
- CAT4 online assessments
- Pupil Attitude to Self and School (PASS)
- Less formal assessments
These assessments enable us to set aspirational targets for our students. We recognise these assessments can be difficult for young people with autism, and so we make sure to take every step necessary to accommodate these challenges.
Student Profiles
Each student has a profile that details their individual likes/dislikes/challenges and motivators. It also incorporates their therapy and medical needs. This enables our staff to have ready access to key information to support every student.
Each student has a planner which comes with the following:
- A handbook
- A personalised timetable
- Their calm plan
- Other key information
Our focus on wellbeing enables our students to make sense of their experiences and develop strategies for success in all areas of their life. We encourage them to broaden their horizons and gain a greater awareness of the world around them and the possibilities available.
