At Fountaindale School, our curriculum is carefully designed to provide engaging, meaningful and ambitious learning opportunities for every pupil. Throughout the academic year, pupils explore a range of exciting topics that help them develop their knowledge, skills, communication and independence. 

As a specialist school, we recognise that pupils learn in different ways and at different stages of development. For this reason, curriculum topics are adapted according to each class's pathway and the age and needs of the pupils within that class. While many classes may explore similar themes, learning experiences, outcomes and content are tailored to ensure they are accessible, relevant and appropriately challenging for every learner. 

Please see the document below for an overview of the curriculum topics that will be covered during the 2026-2027 academic year. Topics are adapted where appropriate to meet the interests, needs and developmental stage of individual pupils and classes.
