Oak Lodge School makes provision for pupils who experience moderate learning difficulties, speech, language and communication needs, autism and specific learning difficulties. Pupils are largely taught following a secondary model curriculum and timetable with the vast majority of learning delivered by subject specific staff. The provision and curriculum offered is also adapted to accommodate a number of pupils with more complex learning needs including severe learning difficulties and/or physical disabilities. Here pupils experience a hybrid model of delivery - some lessons with subject specialists, mixed with core subject delivery from the class team.

Across all areas of the school, the staff team work closely with families, ensuring that they are fully involved in the process of supporting pupils as they continue their education.
