Purple Oaks Academy is a special free school for students with autism and/or Severe Learning Difficulties. All students who attend the academy have an Education, Health and Care Plan. The academy was built as part of the free school programme.
Today was Purple Oaks first boccia competition off site for 18 months; the students demonstrated great social skills such as patience, communication and respect for others. They had a positive attitude and gave their best effort. We are very proud of them #proud https://t.co/b3xO7YVhTN
3.We have been increasing independence in Oak class by inviting students to lead "Who is here today?" and "What's the weather like today?" during group times. The students have been singing and using Makaton to say good morning or afternoon to their peers. https://t.co/e24jGs624L
The students in Oak class have experienced many emotions when visited by Bear and Bella, the adorable therapy dogs! Some students have expressed excitement, and some are far more cautious. So proud of Bianca for being brave and using kind hands to stroke Bella for the first time. https://t.co/mzeA02J3G1
Purple Oaks Academy will provide 100 places for students with a diagnosis of autism and/or Severe Learning Difficulties with an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) naming Purple Oaks Academy as the appropriate provision.
