To Nurture, Educate and Empower Young People with Special Needs

The Springboard Primary Programme provides students with special needs aged 5-11 an individualised curriculum to develop 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 assistants, with a typical teacher-student ratio of 1:3.

The integration policy of the school is vital to the success of this programme. It provides 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 activities 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 out of 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.
