Curriculum Provision at The Damara School

Our vision is to provide every pupil with safe, rewarding, personalised education and support to improve their life chances, prepare them for life and the world of work. Using mindful, therapeutic and holistic approaches to learning, all our pupils are taught to develop new and existing skills, increase knowledge and strengthen understanding. Our strong pastoral support and dedicated partnerships with families and other professionals, help each pupil to cope with the pressures of education and life to reach their full academic, social, emotional and spiritual potential.

"The trust and school leaders are ambitious for every pupil in the school. They have designed a broad and aspirational curriculum that captures pupils’ interest and readiness to learn. High expectations and purposeful routines are reflected in all aspects of daily life in Damara. Pupils quickly begin to respect the clear boundaries that leaders set. As a result, they achieve well, often from very low starting points." - Ofsted 2022
