Our English and Maths Provision
On site at all times, there is a fully qualified teacher with experience in delivery of both Maths and English.
There is a Maths and English lesson daily, and Science is taught three times per week, and students will keep a portfolio of their work in a folder provided. This can be taken with them on final departure from the provision, or be sent to the referring school. Students also take part in PE twice per week.
Students will sit a baseline assessment in English and Maths on arrival to Balance AP, to allow the team to provide appropriate work for the students and allow them to progress. This will be based on the content that will be next delivered in the Schemes of Work.
