st mary magdalene academy: the courtyard
London
The Courtyard vision: To offer an outstanding educational and social provision
that will equip our students with the skills and experiences needed to discover
and live out their potential. The Courtyard School is a free school for students
with special educational needs. The students who attend the school have a
diagnosis of autism spectrum condition and/or speech, language and communication
needs. We provide a personalised curriculum for up to 54 students, aged 13-19.
Each student who attends the school follows an individual curriculum depending
on a number of factors, which include academic ability, social and communication
skills and strengths. Due to our inclusive relationship with St Mary Magdalene
Academy, we are able to offer a broad range of mainstream qualifications subject
to an initial assessment. We are also able to offer a therapeutic element to the
curriculum, through our links with CAMHS, the Local Authority Educational
Psychology and Speech and Language teams, the Islington Learning Disability
Partnership and our on-site art therapy service. All students are provided with
a keyworker to oversee all their pastoral needs.
