Our Curriculum

1 ACE Provision

Sky Vale School also have an outreach alternative provision called 1ACE. Our unique `school without walls’ offers child-centred, bespoke education packages to children and young people. 1ACE is attached to the school and is designed for pupils who are not yet ready to access education in a classroom setting. These pupils are taught in community settings such as youth and community centres and have 1:1 or 2:1 staffing. They also work on life skills, emotional regulation and have a curriculum that is personalised and bespoke to the individual pupil.

Trauma Informed

Sky Vale staff are trained to work therapeutically, using trauma-informed strategies with pupils, to recognise potential triggers for the individual children they work with. We have an a therapist who attends our site weekly, providing direct therapy to pupils who require it. In addition, our therapist offers consultations and reflective practice to our staff team and facilitates some of our team training.
