Our Curriculum

At Infiniti School, we offer a broad and balanced curriculum, including a range of subjects that are highly differentiated to enable students to re-engage with learning. We specialise in sports and outdoor education as we believe that well-planned and implemented activities in these areas can help students develop their social and emotional abilities, which can positively impact all areas of their lives, including learning. We use the school site and surroundings as well as off-site locations in order to increase the activities they can take part in, such as water sports.

In order to capitalise on the school setting and environment, the way that we work develops a feeling of calm, which reduces anxiety and stress that our students may feel, enabling them to feel safe and allowing them to engage in their learning and enjoy their time at school.

We have a range of therapies for our students to access which provide students with an opportunity to express and reflect on their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe environment, as well as help to develop effective strategies to manage their behaviour and their ability to self-regulate their emotions.

Infiniti School building

All students complete baseline assessments when they begin at the school to ensure that we can plan activities that appropriately challenge them, in order that they engage, achieve and progress. We make sure that students have tailored instruction in literacy, reading, writing, mathematics, and numeracy so that they are able to access the wider curriculum. Some students may need intensive interventions in these areas in groups or in 1:1 sessions.

In all areas of the curriculum, there is a focus on the Spiritual, Moral, Social, and Cultural (SMSC) development of our students to help them to be thoughtful, caring, and active citizens in school and in wider society.

To prepare our students for when they leave school, we ensure that it is made clear how what they do in school links to their later life. We have visiting speakers and school trips which give our students the opportunity to find out about different employment, colleges, and courses. In years 10 to 13 our students have the opportunity to experience workplaces through bespoke programmes developed with a variety of employers in different industries.
