SEN education

At The Write Time School, we provide personalised SEN learning pathways with small class sizes and expert support. Using Choice Theory, we help students understand their decisions while fostering both academic growth and personal development. Our bespoke curriculum supports students with ASD, ADHD, PTSD, and emotional challenges, ensuring they thrive in all areas.

Mentoring programmes

Our mentoring programmes are focused on building students’ confidence and resilience. By working one-on-one with experienced mentors, students receive guidance on their personal growth, helping them overcome obstacles and develop a positive mindset. Mentoring plays a key role in fostering independence and personal responsibility.

Theoretical Frameworks

Choice Theory is based on the principle that all we can give someone else is information, and everyone always has a choice to try and fulfil one of the five basic needs: love and belonging, power, fun, survival, and freedom.

Kolb’s Learning Cycle is a form of experiential learning, which focuses on students planning, doing, reviewing, and then applying what they’ve learnt to a similar situation.

The Learning Zone model shows us how we can create learning situations, by moving students out of their comfort zone, i.e. things they already know, but not too far so as to take them into their panic zone.

Independent Living Skills

Students engage in weekly sessions, learning essential life skills like budgeting, meal planning, and food preparation, all while earning accreditation for hygiene and cooking skills. These lessons equip students for independence beyond school.

Therapeutic support

A tailored range of therapies, aligned with each student’s EHCP, ensures pupils develop emotional resilience, communication skills, and self-regulation strategies, supporting their overall well-being.

Employability Skills

Through MATRIX-accredited programmes, students receive career guidance and vocational training in areas such as motor vehicle, hair & beauty, and creative arts, preparing them for real-world opportunities.
