Stability

Structure · Containment · First Connection

What & Why

The Stability pathway supports pupils who are beginning to access learning within a classroom environment and develop positive relationships with trusted adults. Pupils may initially require high levels of individual support, including one-to-one provision, as they build confidence, regulation and readiness to engage with others. The curriculum is carefully adapted to pupils’ individual starting points and needs, enabling them to experience success, build their knowledge and progressively increase their engagement and independence in learning.

Our Approach

A relational and highly supportive approach, centred on developing trust, regulation and successful engagement with learning. Pupils access a calm, predictable and carefully structured classroom environment, designed to reduce barriers and enable them to feel safe and ready to learn. Increased adult support, which may initially include one-to-one provision, helps pupils establish positive relationships with trusted adults. Learning is carefully structured, scaffolded and adapted to pupils’ starting points, with clear routines, manageable expectations and regular opportunities for success. As pupils develop confidence, security and readiness, the environment and level of adult support are gradually adapted to promote greater interaction, participation and independence in learning.
