We have ten children in Sapphire Class, eight boys and two girls. We follow the Brooklands blue pathway which you can read about on the 'Blue Pathway' page.

In Sapphire Class we have a teacher, two LTA's and and three TA 's to help us to learn. 

In Sapphire Class we start our day with our 'morning mile' and by using our 'Zones of Regulation' to check in on how we are feeling.

All staff use a range of communication methods to meet the needs of the children. These include the use of clear language, visual supports including individual timetables, ALD boards, First and Then boards and Makaton signing.

The children in Sapphire Class are increasingly sociable and we are continuing to work hard on social and independence skills.

We have a structured timetable which includes a daily phonics session every morning (following our Read, Write. Inc programme). The other sessions throughout the day include maths, literacy, science, geography, history and RE. We also enjoy creative sessions such as art, music and cookery, as well as spending time in the multi-sensory room, soft play and the library.

We have weekly PE lessons on a Monday afternoon, 'Community Time' on a Wednesday, and Assembly and Tennis on a Friday.
