Curriculum

Sidestrand Hall School caters for young people from KS2-4 (Age 7-16, Year 3-11). It’s a complex needs school where all pupils hold an Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP).  This is a significant factor in our curriculum design. Pupils will follow a 5-Pathway Model of Curriculum and some pupils will have the opportunity to remain with us Post 16 in our Sixth form provision which is on the same site.
