School Description

Pupils excel in all areas of their learning at Fiveways School. The curriculum enables and supports pupils to learn how to communicate their views and feelings exceptionally well. Consequently, pupils relish learning about a range of subjects. Children in the early years love listening to stories and respond with enthusiasm and joy. Students in the sixth form articulate their thoughts about the world around them very well. Staff are very knowledgeable about the communication, learning and therapeutic needs of each pupil. Thus, each pupil, including children in the early years and students in the sixth form, learn an expertly designed curriculum that meets their specific needs. Pupils and their parents value the education provided by the school. Through the curriculum, pupils learn how to form positive relationships and to participate in the world beyond school. Pupils have many well-planned opportunities to learn about life in Yeovil and throughout Somerset through visits to the shops and parks, travelling by rail and volunteering at Ham Hill. The school’s vision, ‘to live a good life now and in the future’ is realised fully through the curriculum. Pupils, including children in the early years and sixth form students are exceptionally well prepared for living meaningful, purposeful lives.
