Springboard caters to students with a variety of mild to moderate learning difficulties 

The Springboard Middle Programme provides students with special needs aged 11-15 an individualised curriculum developing academic, social and independent skills within a mainstream school setting. The academic programme is based on the school curriculum and supported by extensive additional resources. The students are supported by a qualified special needs teacher and teaching assistant, with a typical teacher-student ratio of 1:3.

The integration policy of the school is vital to the success of this programme, providing regular opportunities for mainstream, social and extra-curricular integration for all Springboard students. Integration into the mainstream is developed as part of the student’s individualised education plan (IEP) to reflect the student’s overall strengths and needs. Social integration includes a wide variety of opportunities such as sharing a dining room and playground facilities, taking part in school assemblies, concerts, sports day, play days, camps and excursions.

In addition to the school-based programme, Springboard offers an enrichment programme which operates from the Springboard Centre. The programme enables Springboard students to learn and refine social skills outside of a school setting, practise life skills and receive other therapeutic interventions.
