Headteacher's Welcome
Leaways School in Hackney follows the National Curriculum, and our children experience a full mainstream offer. However, what children say makes Leaways better for them than any other school is the more relaxed, safer, fun environment and the positive relationships they have with the staff. We aim to offer every child an individual curriculum based on their own strengths and interests and one that offers them opportunities to achieve nationally recognised qualifications.
The school offers fun and play based learning opportunities at Key Stage 2. In Key stage 3, our children are offered an engaging curriculum that is broad and challenging and prepares them for transition into our Pathways Program. In Key stage 4, the curriculum offers 3 different pathways: entry level, a vocational route or GCSE qualifications. Children that require additional support can either attend the Rubix base, which predominantly supports their communication and sensory needs. Any children that require additional support with social, emotional, or mental health needs will attend Thrive and work closely with the Pastoral Team.
