Each rung of the ladder stands for a certain skill as it moves the youngster closer to freedom.
Each child will have a different next step on the ladder because they are all unique and have different strengths.
Therefore, each term, an individual work programme is created with a focus on reading, numeracy, and P.S.H.C.E. to fit the needs of each student. The achievement of early years developmental milestones and language development will be prioritised for children in the early years.
Although Knowsley Central's curriculum is based on the National Curriculum, it attempts to be adaptable to meet the many and changing requirements of our students.
