Gesher School offers all-through education for students aged 4 to 16 with a range of mild to moderate needs including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and Down’s syndrome. The cohort also includes children who present with a range of genetic conditions, sensory processing needs, social-communication difficulties, and developmental delays.
Gesher students are unique and often learn in a way that diverges from traditional education methods. They may benefit from being taught differently regarding their communication and social interaction styles, with the environment being tailored and adapted to their own learning needs. Significant use of structure, routine and scaffolding helps with this, and students are encouraged to be as independent as possible in all aspects of their education.
The class sizes are small with a maximum of eight students in the primary classes and a maximum of ten students in the secondary classes, with high adult-to-student ratios throughout.
Whilst Gesher is an understanding and nurturing environment, it is not a school for students whose primary needs fall into the category of social, emotional and mental health or severe learning needs. Students need to be able to demonstrate the capacity to communicate and learn independently within the school provision, and not require 1:1 support for the majority of their learning.
Staff work together in a multi-disciplinary approach to empower all learners to access the curriculum to their full potential and make good progress in all areas of their development. Teachers plan multi-sensory lessons to support children’s learning styles in the classroom, emphasising their emotional well-being. Our Therapy team, which includes Speech and Language, Occupational Therapy, Dramatherapy, Art Therapy, Lego Therapy and an Educational Psychologist, provides ongoing support within the daily routine.
Teaching Assistants play a vital role in further assisting learners as they navigate their way through the day. As a team of educators, we believe that this specialised way of empowering young children to learn, be curious and navigate the world around them sets them up for success.
